WINTER WONDERLAND – A cold front brought chilly winter weather to the area at the beginning of the week, as temperatures dipped into the low 20’s during the mornings. The arctic breeze even caused several fountains, such as the iconic Vidalia Onion Fountain at Ronnie A. Dixon City Park, and other bodies of water to freeze.Photo by Lisa Truxel

BEE SIGN MOVES – The Altamaha Beekeepers Association recently unveiled the new location of the “Save the Bees” tag sign, which was moved from its original location on First Street in Vidalia due to the property being sold to a new owner. The Association has now placed the sign on a property that was volunteered for use by Rackettown Deer Processing on U.S. Highway 1 between Oak Park and Lyons. The group shared their appreciation to the company for the space and to Daniel Eason for reinforcing the sign structure and helping with installation.
