With football over, the high school sports calendar changes over to the winter sports; the Timberwolves wrestling squad is off to a fast start at 2-0 with more to come. At the opening duals event, the Timberwolves beat South Aiken and Gilbert.

Thanks to Dollar

General in the heart of our community, and the generosity of its customers, who have donated enough change over the past few weeks to fill a barrel full of toys for Mission Lexington more than twice. It will make a bunch of little ones very happy when they are distributed to needy families around the Lexington.

Thanks to the musicians and poets who performed last Sunday for the Christmas at Red Bank concert, and for those who help put this show on every year. There is no better way to get into the holiday spirit.

Happy Birthday this week to Christen McConnaughhay, Glenn Smith, Baylee Back-man, Guy West, Christopher Kyzer, Chris Folsom, Austin Duke, Dollie Pounds, Kristie Joyner, Sammie Metts, Mitchell Snelgrove, Ryan Jordan, Wyatt Keisler, and Jim Cox.
