It's hard to believe the Christmas season is heading our way again rather quickly. On Sunday, join the Old-Thyme Dance Club for their Christmas Dance starting at 1:30 p.m. If you would like dress in something red and green for this occasion. The crowd that afternoon and all these dances are open to everyone regardless of age. The committee would like everyone to bring with you either buns/sandwiches, salads or desserts to share with everyone at their pooled luncheon.
Then in December, there will not be the last Sunday of the month dance, instead it will be held on New Year's Eve. So purchase your tickets now by phoning 403-741-9861, before they are sold out. The "Country Gems Band" will be entertaining everyone that evening and joining with you to see the old year out and the new year in, so phone for your tickets now, as it sounds like one great time.
Tomorrow, Nov. 26, make sure you plan to attend the very important monthly meeting at the village office at 7 p.m.
