The Year 2020: Another Chance For Us All To Grow

Good morning Banner County and friends near and far.

Here is – assuming that you’re making it through the Christmas season and are looking toward New Year’s Eve and are ready for the New Year – another chance to grow.

As you know, the kids are still on vacation so no news at the school.

However, birthdays here in the county or relations include Dwayne Muhr, Sharon Lease, Loncey Lee Carver, Jordan Farro, Kevin Soule, Corey Lind, Quincy Boettcher, Jack Griffiths, Ryan Frayser, Brittney Farro and Evelyn Browne.Happy Happy Birthday!

Anniversary congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Bob Cooper,Tom Wayman and Kraig Baker.

Things are pretty slow in the valley also right at the moment, other than the holiday sales aftermath.

Craziness in a lot of places, but here is some normal: There will be a Free soup dinner at the Church of Christ located at 1919 Ave. N in Scottsbluff on Friday, December 27.

The folks at Independence Rising are still in need of gently used medical equipment and welcome yours. Contact them by calling 633-7025.

Wednesday, January, 1 2020! The 24th Annual Christmas Festival will be coming to an end at the Knight Museum and Sandhills Center in Alliance. This last day will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Also on the 1st in Alliance will be Digital Citizenship class at the Leid Public Library in Scottsbluff from 10 a.m. to noon.

This class is Free and open to anyone who is interested in learning how to utilize the internet for social or informative use. The class is offered by AIM Educational Opportunity Center, and for more information please call 630-6250.

Well, folks, that is all for now. After Christmas, clean up is now an option – after News Year’s Day, of course. Happy Near Year, wishing you health and peace. Take care until the next time.
