Two big reasons for celebrating ... Evelyn Plummer celebrated her 98th birthday this past Tuesday, Nov. 10. And she and her husband, Lester Plummer, also celebrate their 81st (that’s correct, 81st!) wedding anniversary that same day! No big celebration was held, just family stopping by to share the occasion. It’s still not too late for a card shower for this wonderful couple. Just fill their mailbox to overflowing with good wishes!

Big and little Halloween spooks will make a bonanza treat haul starting on Friday, Oct. 30 with the Chamber of Commerce Harvest Night. The fun begins at 4 p.m. with downtown trick-or-treating at participating businesses. City Hall and Harrison Street between the library and fire Station will be the sight of numerous event for kids to enjoy, including the popular costume contest at Long Hall for kids ages 23 and under. The judging starts at 6 p.m. The library staff will again have spooky tales on the font lawn and a free book for every child. There will be games, pumpkin and face painting and, of course, treats for all. Businesses and organizations can still sign up to sponsor an activity by contacting Beth at the Chamber office.
