Jo Nell Hanratty readies her house for the Candy Cane Tour from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Her house at 525 W. Lima Ave. Is one of several homes, businesses and a church on the tour.
Jo Nell is retired from working at local banks for the past 32 years. One of her decorations is an old toy bank.
A holiday story she shares is about her writing to Santa when she was a child in Cleveland. The letter, addressed to the North Pole, was returned with the notation "no such address," she was heartbroken. The Cleveland Plain Dealer found out about the crass notation and wrote a page one story about it.

Zumba Gold, a low impact exercise program for senior citizens, meets at 9 a.m. on Thursdays at ReStore.
Taught by Lynne Scott, the workout sessions to music have been held there for more than two years.
Going through their paces this week were (from left) Peg Lawrence, Lynne Scott, and Julie Ludanyi.
Julie's "watch" said she took 2,700 steps during the 40-minute session, which is about one-fourth of what a person should walk each day. The ladies said Zumba is fun and healthy. The cost is by donation.
