The Better Hometown Tour Committee is busy planning a Christmas by Candlelight Tour of Homes to remember. All proceeds of the bi-annual event will be dedicated to downtown projects-making 2010 an important year as the upcoming tour will be the first since 2006. (The tour was cancelled in 2008 due to the poor economy.)

December 7th is the date so please mark your calendars for this big event. (Updates to follow.)

Shown helping Better Hometown and the City of Wrightsville prepare the Christmas lamppost bows for storage are (l to r) Irene Sahaydachnaya from the Ukraine, Heba Rbehat from Jordan, and Haya Almaskari of Oman. Thanks to these Johnson County Exchange Students the bows will be fresh and ready for use next Christmas!

The Johnson County Commission has provided for the W & T Depot to be rented for family and community events by the Better Hometown organization. To reserve a date, simply fill out the application and return it to the Better Hometown Director at the Depot.
