The youngster sitting with his mother at the northwest corner of the uptown Hillsboro intersection Saturday afternoon was probably no more than 2 years old. He was there for the holiday parade. But he was fading as fast as the late November sunset.

Our Knit Together group will meet on Dec. 3 and 17 from 5:30-7 p.m. Bring your current project and join us for some conversation and knitting. The Leesburg Library Merry Money Store will be open from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. on Dec. 5. Please bring your child and their Merry Money during your pre-assigned shopping time to purchase gifts. The elves will be here to assist your children with their Christmas shopping while parents can enjoy browsing the library and munching on some holiday refreshments. Dawna Jo Kiesling from the Highland County Extension Office will also be here from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Dec. 5 to share tips on “Gifts from the Kitchen.”
