Our hearts ache for the Wenzel family who has suffered two losses less than a month apart. Luke Wenzel, who was just 21, passed away suddenly on November 10th, and his father Neil Wenzel lost his battle with liver cancer on December 3rd. If you know the Wenzels, take the time to check on them this Christmas. If you don’t know them, say a prayer or send a wish that they can find some peace.
If you missed the show at Randolph-Macon last weekend, you should try and catch the movie at the Ashland Firehouse Theater this Saturday: “A Muppet Christmas Carol.” This re-telling of Charles Dickens’s classic story is a great treat for families. The popcorn starts at 7 p.m., and the movie starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is FREE! The Firehouse Theater is located in Ashland next to the Rescue Squad at 201 S. Duncan Street, across from Town Hall.
Then next week, after the schools are out, The Patriots Relay for Life Team will be showing “A Christmas Story” (Ralphie!) at the Ashland Firehouse Theater on Thursday Dec.20th at 7 pm. Advance tickets are $5, available soon at Cross Brothers and Ashland Ace Hardware, or from me. Tickets will be $6 at the door. Concessions will be sodas well- all proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society.
The Girl Scouts of Ashland have been collecting canned goods to donate to ACES and your help is needed! Bring your extra food to the Hanover Manor Assisted Living Facility at 809 Thompson St., and the Girl Scouts will be there December 17th to sing Christmas Carols and sort through the donations.

Is George Stiles really 15 years old? That’s doesn’t seem right. Happy birthday to George and John Hodges who both celebrated last week.
