Thanks goes out to Carroll County High School. I will not be forgetting Jan. 10, anytime soon. I am very appreciative to everyone that made this night happen. Special needs kids sometimes just get forgotten.

I am grateful for every vote Noah received, everybody that attended the game, the gentleman who started the standing ovation, the high fives, the thank yous that were said, the people who let Bill and I into the game, and the photos taken. There were 34 to be exact — Noah counted them.

This year’s icy weather conditions caused “A Christmas Carroll” to be delayed for a week.  People with crafts, parade and food entries planned for this event and disappointed.  However, safety was an issue that had to be considered. The ice and snow caused the tent where the event was to be held to collapse. Luckily, no one got hurt.

The Carrollton Main Street Program Committee rescheduled the event and we are very glad we did.

The fifth annual Christmas wreath decorating contest and silent auction was held Dec. 13 by Carrollton Federal Bank in conjunction with an open house. The proceeds from the silent auction went to the Tuttle Tots Early Childhood Education Fund and the Ryder Nichols Deitz Education Fund. All of the wreaths submitted for the contest displayed imagination and creativity. It was our honor to display the wreaths in our lobby. They were beautifully decorated and received many compliments from the public.

In December 2012, our National Guard armory sat silent while the members of our local guard unit answered the call of duty once again and this time in Africa. This past weekend on Dec. 7 – a day we all should remember, Pearl Harbor Day – our local armory was filled with the return of the men of the unit, their families and volunteers from our community.
