Taking note
Winterfest schedule set
Winterfest for years was held before Thanksgiving. Recently, it has been moved to early December.
This year, it’s both.
Jay County Chamber of Commerce has announced plans for a Winterfest celebration that spans three weekends, beginning with Christmas at the Courthouse on Friday.
The annual celebration will launch with the tree lighting at 6 p.m. Friday on the south side of Jay County Courthouse. The community sing will follow at 6:15 p.m.
There will be a full day of activities Nov. 21, with the Grinch Breakfast and Karnival from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at Jay Community Center. The Little Miss Winterfest pageant will be at 2 p.m. at Jay County High School, and the Parade of Lights will be at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Portland.
The Winterfest 5K Run/Walk is slated for 8 a.m. Dec. 5, with Christmas home tours from noon to 5 p.m. Dec. 6. The celebration will conclude the following weekend with the Winterfest Ball and carriage rides at 7 p.m. at Jay County Event Center.
For more information about the events, call (260) 726-4481 or visit the chamber at 118 S. Meridian St., Portland.
To perform
By Request, a select group of Fort Recovery High School students, will perform Sunday during an open house at Morvilius Opera House.
The open house will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday as part of the Fort Recovery Community Christmas Open Houses. The performance will be at 2:20 p.m. at the opera house, located on the second floor at 101 N. Wayne St., above Brockman’s Appliances.
A community group is in the early stages of an effort to rehabilitate the opera house that had its beginnings at the turn of the 20th century.
