Busy Thursday

Your calendar for Thursday, March 10, is PACKED. You'll have to pick and choose, I'm afraid:

6 to 8 p.m.: Moody Coyotes, featuring Robin Nott, play at the Koffee Klutch in Galesburg. Great acoustic music, good food, good beverages, good company.

7 p.m.: Gull Lake Band Parents' Association meets at Gull Lake High School.

7 p.m.: "World's Largest Concert" by the third grade at Ryan Intermediate Gym.

Just do the best you can!

Wassail away!

Richland will be decked out for the holidays on Thursday, December 4, when the village's 35th annual Wassailing Night begins at 5:30 p.m. All the businesses will be offering goodies and activities for all ages, and, in the square, you'll have a chance to hear almost all of our schools' fabulous musical ensembles: GLHS Band, GLHS Choir, the Middle School Minors, the Ryan Chorus, and the Ryan Singers. The festivities continue until 8 p.m. and are sponsored by the Richland Area Business Association.
