​Our little place has much to cheer — especially now. A successful Bethany homecoming weekend including alums celebrated and a gridiron win. Smoky Valley Schools' triumph as district football champs. The community having rallied around Marsha and Ron Rolander’s successful efforts to bring a national doll collector meeting to town over the weekend. Last weekend's debut of a much-buzzed-about KPTS broadcast story about Lindsborg’s dala horses. Hats off to everyone who helped. (This means you.)

Three scheduling items of note:
•  You’ve read about it. Now it’s almost here. Kasino Royale, the Svensk Hyllningsfest benefit, is on this coming Saturday night. Spin the wheel, throw the dice, and our  Hyllningsfest legacy wins.  
•  This coming Sunday, Oct. 21, we’ll be offered a rare choral experience in the performance of the requiem by French composer Gabriel Faure’. Requiems mark death; however, many reviewers find Faure's melodies to be soulful and freeing. Experience the Faure' compositions as interpreted by blended college and community voices and instruments, as well as guest vocal soloists Kalyn Powers and Les Flannigan. That’s Presser Hall, 4 p.m. Thank you, Bethany Music Department and community musicians, for creating this event.
•  Erroneously reported here has been the start time of the Dec. 1 Snowflake Parade.  It is 11 a.m., not 10. Note that, please.  Volunteers are starting to gather the parade lineup and are inviting everyone to get in the spirit. Organizers also plan to apply for a sidewalk permit that will allow vending tables on downtown storefront sidewalks. Making a popular return: "make and take ornaments” to be available at several local businesses. Learn more? Contact Carla Wilson at wilflipper@gmail.com.
