Knox United Church in Emo will be hosting a special evening of Christmas music next Saturday (Nov. 14) starting at 7 p.m.
“Sounds of Holiday Cheer” will feature the entertaining sounds of the new Borderland Children’s Choir, directed by Diane Maxey.
The cost of admission ($10 per person or $25 per family) will include tickets for the “Shiny Penny Table,” as well as desserts, coffee, tea, and an evening of enjoyable entertainment.
The penny table will feature fantastic “theme baskets,” with the final draw for these baskets to take place during Emo’s annual “Holly Daze” festivities in early December.
Tickets for the “Sounds of Holiday Cheer” may be purchased at the church.

The Emo Spray Park committee would like to thank the volunteers who worked so hard this fall in response to its plea for assistance.
These hard-working folks, some of whom put in many hours of service, will be officially recognized at a later date.
Thanks to their dedicated efforts, the spray park will be completed and ready for use early next summer.
However, the final construction work, which will take place in the spring, will require an extra infusion of cash. So if you still would like to buy a memorial brick or make a direct donation, call the Emo municipal office at 482-2378.
Donors will receive a tax receipt and be recognized on a plaque in the park.

The Emo “Holly Daze” committee once again will be staging a “Beautiful Baby” contest this year.
If you have a beautiful baby who is under 18 months of age, and would like to enter him/her in the contest, contact Cheryl at Meyers Clothing (482-2893).
The voting, which will take place during “Holly Daze” on Dec. 3-5, will be done by shoppers dropping coins in the bucket of their choice.
Monies raised from this event will go to a local charity, which has yet to be determined.
