WELCOME — Next Sunday, Oct. 31, is Halloween, and there are some residents that will have a ’Trunk and Treat’ for the children from 2-5 p.m. on Dugan Street between First and Second Street. They will have goodies and other fun activities. Thank you to the organizers of this fun and safe event for our children. Have a safe Halloween.

The huge rummage sale at Martin Luther High School in Northrop continues from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, where a bag full of whatever you can find costs only $3. This is usually a good resource for school clothes.

Harvest is in full swing and there are many slow moving vehicles on the roadways. Be careful as you drive farm machinery and drive past farm machinery. Farmers take care with power take offs and other dangerous parts of the harvest machines. Watch for electric poles and wires as you move augers and combine fields. Let’s all have a safe harvest.

Welcome Legion would like to remind residents that a pheasant like paper may be bought at the Legion Club to raise funds for the November veterans dinner at veteran’s homes. Pheasants for Vets will continue until Nov. 8. Stop at the Legion or contact a Welcome Legion member to purchase a bird for $5. Help honor our veterans.
