Thank you everyone for the great Christmas lights and displays in Purple Grove, Ripley, Lucknow, Kincardine and all points in between. What a delightful time of year to tour around the countryside. To have such good roads is a huge bonus. Please don't forget folks that school is out for the next two weeks and there will be lots of excited youngsters out and about. There have been so many wonderful musical evenings in our area. Folks from here enjoyed the Harp and Holly concert on Thursday even- ing in Kincardine, also the Messiah performance in Kincardine, and the musical evening at Knox Presbyte- rian Church in Ripley Sun- day night. Among the Christmas Eve services being held is the service at the Kinlough Presbyterian Church at 8 p.m.; St Andrews United Church in Ripley and vari- ous churches in Kincardine and Lucknow. Fran and Jim Farrell recently enjoyed a trip to Manitoba. They visited with Chris, Monty, Tyson and Cooper Vandesype. The weather was great, the roads good and only got cold and snowy the last couple of days. When they left Winni- peg it was -18 degrees C and came home to a balmy -2 degrees C. Manitoba is also having an unusually warm December. Family Christmas gather- ings include the Boyle Christmas at Purple Grove Community Centre on Sun- day.
