Acadia Valley News Oct 13
By Yolanda Kuhn
It’s a balmy +1 here this morning as I sit down to write the news this week. I’m sure starting to notice how short the days have become. I’m personally not looking forward to moving the clocks back in a few weeks. This one is for you Pat; did you know that there’s just 10 weeks until Christmas?! Sorry, I had to do it! I just have to say that the weather for thanksgiving weekend was amazing! We spent a lot of time in our yard last weekend just soaking in the last of these beautiful sunny days.
On Saturday, October 8th, Knights of Columbus hosted the annual Sausage Fry for the first time since 2019. The supper was well attended, they served 424 people. Hats off to The Knights, their wives, all the extra volunteers, and all the patrons who came out to support this event!
