Twelfth Night observance inspires despite low turnout
The recent Twelfth Night program led by Mrs. Carolyn Warren drew a modest crowd yet offered uplifting choir singing and clergy messages. Community trees lit shopping streets, a caution light was proposed for slippery weather, and the United Fund exceeded its $10,000 goal by over $4,000 amid a strike at the PC. The Rittman High School band concert on February 2 received strong youth support, while winter weather hit with 18 degrees below zero readings. The Rotary circus announcement for April 25 added local excitement.
