Hitz Home Beat the Heat Therapy
When it’s really too hot to be outside, with a little ingenuity the residents at Hitz Home find ways to stay entertained indoors.
They start off with a few games of bingo followed by playing with kittens. After a few parties it was decided that anytime is margarita time.
This is the way smart senior citizens beat the heat of summer.
Alhambra Fire Department Water Training Drill
Fire personnel from the Alhambra and Grantfork Fire Department joined in water training drills at Alhambra Park.
Volunteers from both departments give up their free time to further their life saving skills for the benefit of our communities.
If you are 18 years of age, male or female, our fire departments are asking for help to keep our communities safe.
Whisker Derby
Anyone that has seen the pictures of the last whisker derby will want to be sure and get in on the fun and go down in the history of the village with being in the 175th Anniversary Whisker Derby.
Come on guys, put away those razors. Even if it is short notice, let’s see how great a beard you can grow in about two weeks.
