The weather was superb for Christmas making travel easy for Christmas visitors. The plus temperatures were very easy to take. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
We extend sympathy to Wes and Karen Gutsche and family on the passing of Karen’s dad, Dan Boettcher, in Hanna on Dec. 15 at the age of 80 years. A private service was held in Hanna on Dec. 20. Our thoughts are with the family in their loss.

There was a good turnout for the candlelight service at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on Thursday evening.
