Special verse

"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

Happy Thanksgiving

We are wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love. May this special day remind you always to count your blessings, big and small, that the Lord has restored upon you. Always treasure the moments that your family shares together.

Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless each one of you. — Your friends, Bobby, Nancy and Frederick Young

Christmas lights

The Ellaville Christmas lights will be turned on Thanksgiving night. There will not be a ceremony as we have had in the past, but you can still get your family together and ride downtown and see the pretty lights.

Turning on the lights really get your spirits up for Christmas, when you see them on. This marks the beginning of Christmas.

Christmas Parade

The annual Christmas Parade will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 1.

Guess who will be there?

You’re right — Santa Claus will be in the parade as well as the United States Marine Corps Band from Albany.
