The 1957 Grundy County News Review notes a crisp New Year with 15 daytime degrees and subzero nights. Burglaries hit Verona State Bank and Pine Lodge Tavern as snowfall blankets the area. Local officials see political moves, school notes, and band rehearsals for the governor's inaugural parade in Springfield.
