Bingo anyone?

Seniors have met at Community Health Professionals for nine years to lunch and play bingo, but this week's gathering was the last one sponsored by Richland Manor Nursing Home.

Here, Donna Shadley and Dorothy Clum spin the wheel to see who might win the jackpot.

Although Richland Manor is giving up the weekly Bingo sponsorship for seniors, never fear. Community Health Professionals has agreed to host and sponsor the event in the future.

The weekly lunch and bingo will resume at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays beginning in January.

It was a sell out

Santa has his hands full and is happy to hear the Christmas wishes of Myah, 6, Bennett, 3, and Corbin, 7 months, at The Inn on Saturday.

They are the children of Justin and Jessica Keckler of Harrod. Kids not only had an opportunity to recite what they want for Christmas (parents, are you listening and taking notes) but also received a present and mighty fine breakfast from the buffet.

Parents received a photo of their child with Santa that was put into a magnetic frame, a perfect remembrance of the event. Asked how many attended, Inn General Manager Tallene Eichelberger said, "We always sell out."
