Weld

This week three deer were tagged at the Skoolhouse Variety here in Weld: Darryl Parker a 2-point 110 lb. buck, Treelyn Bronish a 4-point 109.5 lb. buck, and Matt Irish got an 8-point 189 lb. buck. Joel Miller tagged a bear.

Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, Nov. 5, so you have to get yourselves and your children into bed an hour earlier Sunday night than you did last week because you’ll all be starting your Monday an hour earlier. You’ll be getting the kids on the bus for school at sunrise or shortly thereafter and you’ll all be returning home from work around dusk. The long dark nights of winter have begun.

If you are a Weld veteran don’t forget to stop at the Town Hall Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 2 until 4 p.m. for an afternoon with your “comrades in arms” as the Town honors you with an afternoon of “Reminiscing” and “sweets”.

Remember to go to the polls and vote Tuesday, Nov. 7, if you didn’t get an absentee ballot and cast it earlier by mail at the Post Office or return it to Town Office in person.

Saturday, Nov. 11, starting at 5:30 p.m. until gone there is a roast turkey supper at the church dining room which includes ham and the feature fowl along with dressing, mashed potato, squash, green beans, corn, peas, onions, cranberry sauce, rolls, pies and desserts. Last year it was such a success there was not a single morsel left for the workers. All are welcome including hunters in the area.

There’s no charge, but there will be a donation jar for those who wish to donate to the church for this great meal. Remember there is a chair lift at the top of the stairs for those who aren’t able to use the stairs, so you can join us if you wish. Be sure to send it back “up” for the next person who might have a disability.
