- AROUND TOWN -

While there aren't fresh outdoor photos today, there are plenty of prep photos from around the community!

WCS Cafeteria put in dedicated hours making sure meals were prepped with care and handed out to kids throughout the community the last two weeks. No one minded pizza Friday! Also included is a breakfast for the next day. Plus, all of the Weekend Warrior bags, prepped by the Waterville Area Food Pantry and funded by the American Heart Association, found homes (and bellies) by the end of the week.

At the WCS Bus Garage, prep was underway for another Food Drop with Connected Community Schools! This is open to anyone to drive through tomorrow, Saturday, January 16th, from 10 am - 1 pm. Meat, dairy, produce, non-perishables, and more!

Plus! Preparation for the January Community Drive-Thru at the Waterville Public Library also on Saturday from 10 am - Noon. Swing through both for a very productive morning! A great portion of the Drive-Thru is thanks to the It Takes a Village Diaper Bank, outreach by the United Methodist Church, who worked with Price Chopper for this month's worth of donated diapers. It's a LOT of diapers! Plus connected to other organizations for feminine care, wipes, and more.

Plus all that was donated/exchanged by the community at the Waterville Public Library, providing winter gear and a fantastic toy exchange (with a quarantine)

Walking paths had to be created until it all moves out tomorrow. Have a great Drive-Thru day in Waterville, and a great weekend!

As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice. The prism effect of light passing through these six-sided ice crystals separates the light in...
