The Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding its Annual Meeting and Dinner Thursday at 6 p.m. with cocktails at the Platte Valley Community Center.

Two years ago a grass fire east of town almost ignited a 20 year old pile of sawdust and old, dry logs at Squirrel Tree Automotive.
The grass fire occurred on a Sunday and if Squirrel Tree Automotive owner Sterling Arnold had not been at his shop checking on his horses, he would not have been able to alert the fire department.
Because of the old sawdust, it took two weeks for the embers of the grass fire to go out.

At Valley View, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental, and psychological well-being of each resident.

There were five here for bingo on Tuesday. One-dollar winners were Berneil McCord and Pat Foust. Two -dollar winners were Grace Johnston, Merle Starr and Berneil McCord. Grace Johnston won the $4 blackout round.
There were two-and-a-half tables for duplicate Bridge on Monday. High winners were Barb Wise and Kristi Groshart. There was a tie for second high between Lee Groshart and Sheila Johnson and Bob Johnson and Marilyn Walck.

Here’s trusting your Christmas was merry and your plans for the New Year are happy!
We have had a great week around here. The coffee gals have been able to make the coffee disappear pretty steady. Arleigh, Laura, Connie, Patty, LeDawn, Jo and Ellie had a visitor. Dani Herring was here to visit over the holiday.
