Community News Roundup ~ Dec. 18, 2025


Happy Herald Day!

I didn’t get a picture of the ashy dust storm the wind kicked up this afternoon, but it’s a pretty clear indicator we need some moisture on the ground! The picture below is from the Parade of Lights on Dec. 6. What little snow we had is long since gone.

I hope you’ve got your Christmas shopping done, but if you don’t be sure to visit our Shop@Home participants and enter to win $50 in Chamber Bucks.
