The Unadilla Area Fund held a short meeting before the "Meet and Greet" Tuesday night, December 7. These are the new Groundhog Royalty nominees: King: Turner Moore, Randy Brehm, Tyler Berner, Mike Weyers, and Dylan Bartling. Queen: Carrie Hopp Bischoff, Michelle Zoller, Emily Rumery, Shelby Wallen, and Alex Landwehr. Your "votes" can be left at the Bank or mailed to the Village Office at PO Box 87. Bob Brandt also announced a sizeable donation was received to make Mark Enenbach a Lifetime Honorary Groundhog King and Lois Ebert a Lifetime Honorary Groundhog Queen. Thanks to the anonymous donor who made this possible!

This "Meet and Greet" event was held at the Duncan Building and several of the new residents attended. It  is always so nice to put a face with a name! We had some great refreshments and everyone had a chance to give a little information about themselves and get to know each other. Thanks to everyone who attended!

 

 

 

We found some more beautiful lights!

Santa appeared at the Duncan Building Saturday morning and got to talk to 40+ children. One little guy, Corrick Bruns, asked Santa for a goat! Thanks to Countryside Bank for sponsoring this event.

Our definition of a measurable snow is if you can track a cat in it. Well, that finally happened on Friday, December 10. Sadly, it was mostly gone by noon.

 

 

 

Out for a drive about, looking at the new houses being built north of Unadilla, and went past the Northern Natural plant.
