News : News Bits: Thanksgiving Dinner and those Blinking Lights

Sometimes I hear news and file it away, forgetting that I should maybe mention it to you,

For example...

Thanksgiving Dinner

Unfortunately, the Baptist Church that has been preparing Thanksgiving Dinner for hundreds of people each year here in Vinton, will NOT be able to do that this year. We do want to thank them for all the years that they have done this for the community.

Second, the blinking street lights. What is going on?

I talked briefly with Kevin Kirchner about the streetlights downtown when I saw one was burned out. I asked why they were flashing. He said that it was an idea suggested by the mayor to see if people like this better than sitting at the lights.

I think it's a great move and they get my vote on that idea right away!
