-IN THE NEWS-
Although the groundhog did just predict an early spring and it certainly felt that way for a few days, it seems we are going to be getting a little more winter. With predictions of lake effect snow up to 10 inches by Friday morning and frigid weather coming this weekend it's probably best if we all enjoy this time doing something indoors with friends and family.

Last weekend Jeff Reynolds family came up from South America to visit. They enjoyed the spring like weather and visited a few different places while they were in the area. Here they are enjoying a game of American football on the croquet lawn at the library. They were also very happy to be able to watch the Broncos win the Superbowl.
