Hurray, January is almost over. I don't know about you but I've had enough of winter and can't wait for spring. Guess you can tell that I'm not a winter sport enthusiast. I sure hope Wiarton Willy brings us good news this weekend.

The Thornton Area Action Committee's Valentine Dance will be here before you know it. Do you have your tickets? They cost just $12.50 per person and include dancing to the music from DJ Keep Them Dancing, a lunch served at 11 p.m. and door and spot dance prizes.

It will be a fun evening for everyone. Call Terry at 458-9054 for tickets or information.

The Fighting Temptation Youth Group from the Ivy Presbyterian Church will meet tomorrow evening, Jan. 31, starting at 6:45 p.m. All children in grades 4 to 8 are invited to join in with the activities in the shed. Call 424-2987 for more information or directions.
