As we get closer to Thanksgiving, you can really feel the season changing around here. The mornings are colder, the leaves are mostly on the ground, and everyone seems to be getting ready for family time, cooking, and maybe a little traveling. Some folks are already planning their menus while others are just excited for a few days off to relax. No matter how you celebrate, it’s a time to slow down, look around, and be thankful.

Here are some events happening in our community and beyond:

The Lake Huntington Presbyterian Ladies Aid Society would like to thank our community members who came out to support our past Penny Social on 10/18. Thank you for another successful event!! Many thanks to our church members for baking, and our community for donating and supporting us. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Happy Christmas Season. God bless you all.
