If you did not make it to the December Community Action Agency Bingo and luncheon, you missed a great time and some beautiful decorations courtesy of Marie Nicholson and her staff. The agency's dining room was festive with Christmas trees and decorations celebrating the season. Decorating the numerous trees took two weeks and two weekends of exhausting, but satisfying work. Those who made it out for the event played Bingo for food prizes, received a reminder about the fast-approaching Medicare Part D enrollment/change-of-plan deadline, as well as a reminder of the upcoming quarterly food distribution and what documentation is needed to sign up for the commodities distributed by the local Community Action Agency and a contingent of volunteers. Now, take time to enjoy the photographs from the event (below) and think about joining this jovial group for the next Bingo/luncheon.

2013 Newberry Buck Pole

Here are a few photographs I snapped at the Newberry American Legion Post 74 Community Buck Pole. When I left the gathering on Friday around 7:15 p.m. there were 17 bucks on the pole.

2013 Newberry Christmas Lights

Taffy the golden retriever welcomes the 2013 Newberry Christmas lights; that's her you hear barking in the background of the video (link below).

Newberry Water and Light lineman Joe Lively, in bucket, village Department of Public Works employees Debra Major and Dan Puckett, with beard, along with part-time employee Jerry Overland get the job done on a sunny, 45-degree November day.

Thanks to all of you. We love the Christmas lights.

For those of you who do not know, the green house in the background is our humble abode, which we share with Pepper, Peanut, Stormy, Pickles, Penelope, Peter, Olivia and a who carload of tropical fish! God is good!

Below are photographs from the endeavor. You can view a video too. Find it on YouTube at -
