Milford's Main Street

THIS IS Holy Week. Most of the area churches will be holding special services on Thursday and Sunday. Community Good Friday services will be held at 7:3Q p.m. on Friday, April 13, in the Bethel Church of the Brethren. Easter is a very special time of the year in the Christian World. We would encourage all to attend the church of their choice and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. —o— ALTHOUGH SCHEDULED to open Friday, April 13, the new convenience store and gas station being built at Campbell's IGA. will have opening day delayed one week. Tim Campbell says that the arrival of a canopy, which will be placed on the store front, has been delayed. Rather than deal with congestion when the canopy is ready to be raised. Campbell decided to put off opening day until Friday, April 20.

Daffodils and lilies, Tulips and roses are all very frilly. Tulips in the wind, Lilacs in the sun. Poppies shining brightly, Go out and have some fun! By Tracy Gradle and Kristi Martin The March Monster The March Monster can be so wild! It chases little animals, But even worse, a child. It always must have food, like dill pickles and balloons. But, even worse, I have to say. Its color is maroon. By Sonya Beer and Amy Gingerich

Spring is Born Spring is born. Green grass is here. Trees get their leaves. Summer is near! Birds come back from migrating. Hibernating animals are awake. Dew is on the ground. And there are ducks on the lake. By Ryan Speicher Bunnies Fat. fuzzy bunnies hopping all around. Hopping here, hopping there. The bunnies have come to town Hiding here, hiding there, hiding everywhere. Kids try to find them. They are blue and pink But when they get near them. They find out they wear mink! By Karrie Foltz and Latisha Powell
