For Publication February 9
Oh, it’s almost Valentines Day Ashland- let’s show the love! I would like to see mailboxes full of red hearts and pink candies.
Happy belated birthday to some winter babies! Monica Klisz, Allan Funk, Jen Chambers all blew out some candles recently.
The first event in the three-part series for Black History Month will be held Saturday, February 18th at 2pm at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center. “Black History in Story, Film and Dance” will feature nationally-known storyteller Dylan Pritchett. These are free events, but donations are appreciated. Look for details about the other events to come on March 16 at the Firehouse Theater and May 6 at the Center.
Congratulations to Ashland Police Chief Doug Goodman for participating in the Polar Plunge in Virginia Beach this past weekend! Chief Goodman went for a swim in the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for Virginia Special Olympics. Even though it’s been a warm winter, I bet that water was still bone-chilling.
I’d just like to thank Nursing Companion Extraordinaire for their nice window display on England Street. It reminds me of the big Miller & Rhodes’ and Thalhimers’ windows that you used to see downtown. Their window right now is called, “Nursing Then,” and it shows all the old equipment that nurses used. I am expecting a “Nursing Now” window to appear shortly. Stop by and take a look if you can!
There are two fun events coming up in Ashland. The first is the St. Ann’s Casino night on Saturday, February 18th at St. Ann’s Catholic Church on Snead St. This party is famous for its wonderful auction items and dinner! Tickets will be available at the door or by calling the church office: 798-5039.
The second event is the “Raise the Roof” celebration and fundraiser at the Center on Saturday, March 3, 2012, from 7:30 – 11:00 PM. A limited number of tickets will be available, going on sale beginning Monday, February 6, 2012 at The Center and at Cross Brothers Grocery.
