Merry Christmas! The yard decorating contest was a huge success. So many lights and airborne wiggles throughout the town. The winners have been declared: first place, Jim and Shantel Higgins; second place, Ora Rathbone; third place, Roger and Nancy Holcomb. Honorable mention includes Jonathan and Candy Burden, Bessie Mortensen, Kevin and Denise Roche, and Joe and Julie Shinkle.
A big thank you to the efforts and to the fun the above group has given to the community this year. Be sure to take a drive around and enjoy the displays.
The Santa Box located at the firehouse has been busy â keep it full. Thanks to those helpers also, and to all of you, for watching over neighbors and including them in your fun.

I know i said I was logging off, but I just wanted to share why Im struggling to sleep. A whole apartment building burnt to a crisp in my best friend s apartment complex this morning and took the life of a 3 year old child. I cant even begin to imagine what these people are going through. They lost their homes, a life lost, lives devastated, and Christmas devastated for all of them. This hits too close to home. The pix and vids Im posting are shared with permission. Please pray for these families who live at Landau Apartments in Clinton, SC.
