New Blogger: Courtney Malone!
I grew up in the small town of Palmyra, where a majority of my summer was spent at my Grandparents’ farm. My sister and I showed pigs each year at the Otoe County Fair.

Sharing
There are so many opportunities to share with others at this time of year. Hastings is a very generous community, as borne out by the many giving trees, mitten trees, and food drives at various places throughout the town. Whether you take a paper ornament from the tree at Hometown Variety and Gifts with a suggestion for a small gift for an elderly person, a Salvation Army gift suggestion from the Angel tree at the Imperial Mall, or place warm scarves, mittens and hats on a tree at your church, you can easily help someone less fortunate than yourself.

Historic Hastings
As a teenaged resident of Hastings, I’ll admit that I have occasionally succumbed to the “Hastings is boring, there’s nothing special here” mentality. Over the years of living here, however, I’ve realized that that is completely untrue

Holiday Greens
Decorate for the holidays with fresh evergreens from your own back yard….or maybe a friend’s yard (with permission of course). There are many different kinds of greenery for holiday decorating. Pines, firs, and junipers are great to use indoors, either with or without being placed in a water base.
