It is almost the close of another year. The hustle and bustle also is coming to a close. Where, oh where, has the time gone.

If you know someone in our community who is not able to get out for the holidays, please go visit them. You will make their day and yours.

Anchor Point has many upcoming events, including the lighting contest, community awards and Snow Rondi. Look for flyers for all the details.

Have a great weekend and be safe.

My wish for all is to have a happy holiday with family and friends surrounding you.

The chamber's holiday lighting contest will be judged in three categories: residential, business and nonprofit.
