Rain and sun took care of most of the snow although traces are to be seen here and there and spots of ice can still be found. What snow can be found is dirty and the gray skies make dismal days. It almost makes one wish the fresh snows and cold temperatures were back! What are you doing ionight? Friend husband and I will be at the Wawasee faculty—WOWO Air Aces basketball game at Wawasee high school. It’s a good way to spend an evening and will help to raise money for the purchase of band and chorus uniforms and athletic uniforms and equipment. Won’t you join us! One thing good about the warm weather is that Christmas decorations at long last could be taken down. Many people were forced to leave lights and outside decorations in their place because of the ice and cold weather. Our Town’s decorations were taken down yesterday and stored for another year.
