The Hepburn Howler · extravaganza, mezz seats $15. *11 - after shool program registration & info...

MAYOR’S MESSAGE December and the Christmas season are upon us. The Christmas season brings banquets & programs. Bethany is hosting a huge Christmas Extravaganza, there are Christ-mas Programs at the school and churches. There are many smaller celebrations throughout town, at the school and at Playschool. Many people have volunteered and are working hard in organizing & practising. I encourage everyone to take in these festivities. The town will be buzzing with add-ed traffic. Safety when driving and walking around town is everyone's concern and responsibility. The town purchased and installed some new Christmas lights and they look awe-some! While we are busy with celebrations, let us look past all the glitter and remember the best gift ever, the birth of Jesus Christ. On behalf of the Town of Hep-burn employees and the Town Council, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Working together, working for Hepburn. Mayor Jeff Peters
