February 2023

The weather’s felt more like March lately, but the calendar still says mid-February, so it’s no surprise we got a snowy reminder there’s still a more than a month of winter left.

Fortunately, we had good weather for the tree removal crew to finish up in just a few weeks. Not only was Hennick’s the lowest bid by a lot, they did a great job. Next up, we’re beginning the process of replacing many of the 93 trees removed. Stay tuned.

The new electronic sign is up and running. It’ll take a little time to get the settings and graphics just right, but it’s already a big improvement.

I hope to see you at these upcoming events:

Lions Omelette Breakfast on Sunday 2/19
Legion Sandwich Supper on Monday 2/20
Legion Fish Fry on the year on Friday the 2/24
Community Potluck Luncheon on Tuesday 2/28
