Valentine s Day, and Galatine s Day, was observed Feb. 13 and 14. There were two area celebrations for the days one by the American Legion of El Dorado and another, new, celebration at Walter s Pumpkin Patch near Burns.
Celebrating Teachers
The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit #81 in El Dorado wanted to recognize local teachers this year for Valentine’s Day.
“We know they have had a rough year, so we wanted to let them know that we appreciate them,” said Karen Hasting, member of the ALA Unit #81.
The unit made gift baskets for each of the El Dorado Elementary schools to express that gratitude. Each basket was filled with gala apples, one for every teacher at each school, and attached to each apple was a note that said “You are the apple of our eye.”
