Oh, what a year! Together we’ve journeyed through 2019!
Joyful anticipation of what’s to come, appreciation what was, mixed with good-riddance (for good measure), join forces as 2019 comes to a close. New Year’s Eve is a time of celebration and reflection.
We found joy in bringing you the accomplishments of our residents, introducing community events and celebrations, and telling local stories of healing and hope including, a military dad’s big surprise, and a local mom’s quest to give her children lifetime memories. Some businesses closed their doors, and some new ones opened. There were beloved residents we lost.
Together, we got through it all - the hills and valleys in the Ridge. Thank you for reading, commenting, submitting stories (and trusting us to tell them).
