Let's get serious and talk spring, such as picnics in the park.

The temperature reached a record high of 68 degrees on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 12. Enjoying lunch at War Memorial Park are Griffin Martin, 4, with Ashley Dearth and Thomas Robinson.

Others in the park enjoying temperatures in the high 60s were some youngsters having fun kicking leaves around. 

And, instead of snowballs, it was soccer for these pharmacy students on Saturday at War Memorial Park.
