Santa Claus Day was held at the Meota Community Complex Dec. 13, with a good turnout of children and their relatives. The day was organized by ADRA. They catered to the monthly noon lunch and then the afternoon was filled with activities for the children and the arrival of Santa Claus who handed out bags of goodies.
The Meota Chorus sang a few Christmas songs that folks could join in with. Very popular was Duhaime’s team of horses with their sleigh, that gave rides to many happy kids, and likely some adults, too.
The Hobby Band held their Christmas potluck dinner Dec. 16 following their jam session in the morning. This was successful and enjoyed by their members and some guests.
New residents in Meota since October are Carol Strong and Chris Korosi. Now Carol has accepted the position of village secretary, so she’s a busy girl and is ready to do her best for the village.
How good to have the sanding truck pass along most of the village streets. They are pretty treacherous, but not as slippery as one would expect. It seems it snowed right after the rain, so it roughened the surface somewhat.
I wish everyone a very good Christmas, as you celebrate the important birth of our Saviour with family and friends and all the best in health and happiness in the New Year.
