SIDNEY The 2021 Arbor Day celebration and the fall tree sale and plantings in the city were discussed during the Sidney Tree Board’s April 15 meeting.
The Arbor Day presentation will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 30, at Longfellow Primary School, 1250 Park St. A tulip poplar tree has been selected to be planted by Weigandt. The event will be scaled-down due to COVID-19 restrictions. During the meeting, Brian Green, Sidney street manager/ISA certified arborist, provided members a flier for ceremony.
Longfellow School will select students to attend the ceremony. According to meeting minutes, McDonald’s did not respond to the board’s request for coupons for the ceremony; however, Michael Jannides volunteered to provide coupons from The Spot Restaurant. Board Chair Ann Asher invited all members to attend the 20-minute ceremony.

Thanks for help with Community Christmas Dinner
To the editor:
The 39th Annual Community Christmas Dinner took place on December 5th as a drive-thru event outside the EMA Building in the Fairgrounds. This was a free meal, open to the entire community. We served 927 meals, of which 146 meals were delivered to homebound individuals.
A traditional holiday meal was prepared by The Spot. The Masons from Sidney Temperance Lodge No. 73 whipped up plenty of mashed potatoes. About 75 community volunteers helped with preparing, serving, cleaning up, and delivering meals. Many community leaders and elected officials as well as local boy scouts and girl scouts helped to serve the food.
