The weekend forecast looks a little chilly, but the hot cocoa is flowing in Hill City. Christmas is barely a month away, and Hill City is kicking off the countdown with a wonderful lineup of events. Grab your family or friends and find a new tradition to get into the Christmas spirit.
Years ago the Hill City Evergreen Garden Club wanted to have a fundraiser.
“They decided, ‘Oh we can make some wreaths.’ So they started in somebody’s garage and made them out of coat hangers,” said Merlene Broer, co-chair of today’s Christmas Wreath Fundraiser Project.
The members did this for many years until someone found frames to order. Since then the project has evolved and still continues to evolve today.
What’s a moment or event from your childhood you’ll never forget? What people and places influenced you most in young adulthood? What was one of the greatest challenges of your adulthood and how did you handle it?
These were among the questions attendees at the Heirlooms: Creative Life Story Writing seminar had to consider as they eventually put paper to pen to create a short story about themselves at the end of the seminar, held at the Keystone Community Center last Saturday morning.
’Tis the season of giving, and Hill City’s Xi Alpha Chi, the local chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, in conjunction with the Alpine Inn, are providing an opportunity for people in the community to get into the spirit of Christmas. This year, they are again setting up a “Gifts from the Heart” tree at Alpine Inn with the kick-off day scheduled for Friday, Nov. 24.
