Congratulations to the Ripley Agricultural Society on providing a great meal, Sunday. The Spaghetti Supper (A Taste of Italy) was well-attended and, of course, the desserts were much-appreciated. It is always good to meet newcomers to our area and to see them enjoying the great food and fellowship. Thanks to all the cooks, servers and helpers. Good job!

Those who were able to attend the Hootenanny at the Kingsbridge Centre, Friday evening, were well-entertained. It was good to see the youngsters and the 20-plus musicians playing harps. What a delight. Good for the Kingsbridge folks for providing such an excellent venue for these concerts.
 
We are sorry to hear so many of our folks are having to be confined to home because of illness. Get well soon; our thoughts and prayers are with you.
