Congratulations to our Jeff Post Office for Jack the Scarecrow being voted the favorite Scarecrow on Main Street! I am sure Meredith had a lot to do with it! Good job done by all our businesses for their Scarecrows too – better luck next year!

The JEMS group thanks everyone that came out on Halloween for Trunk R Treat in The Backyard Park! So many amazing costumes and imaginations behind them! Music played by DJ Jim added more fun for everyone and lots of candy was given out to some scary characters! Thank you to the “helpers” that opened their trunks, dressed in costume and handed out candy too. JEMS appreciates all of you and the community for supporting them this season. 

Don’t forget to take your pumpkins, smash them open and leave them for the wildlife to eat after you are done with them. Be sure to really break them open so the deer don’t get their heads stuck in them! Also, if you have lots of them, you can donate them to a local farmer – pumpkins are highly nutritious treats for livestock!

On Sunday, November 15 the Hortonville Volunteer Fire Department is having their Annual Pancake and French Toast Breakfast from 7 a.m. to Noon. Come out and show your support for your volunteer firefighters while you enjoy family style buttermilk pancakes, French toast, breakfast sausage patties, eggs, and real Maple Syrup from the Diehl Homestead Farm. Cost this year will be to make a donation.

Jeff Bank is collecting new, unwrapped toys at all their branches for Toys for Tots, hoping to bring smiles to children in our communities this holiday season. Every donation helps make the holidays a little brighter for a child in need. Drop off your donations during regular business hours. Jeff Bank is also participating in the annual Children’s Centers in the Courts Food Drive, benefiting families served by the Children’s Center at Sullivan County Family Court. Items needed: canned goods and other non-perishable foods, dry cereals, bottled water and juices. Every donation, big or small, can make a difference for local families in need. Help to fill these boxes and spread a little kindness this holiday season!

The First Presbyterian Church in Jeffersonville is selling Cookies by the Pound on Saturday, December 5 for $10 per pound from 10 a.m. until sold out! All proceeds to benefit their Food Pantry. They sell out fast; the cookies are so good!
