Murray County Happenings....
Hey there. It is DECEMBER already.

Get your Christmas shopping done in a snap by contacting one of our local businesses for assistance.  Whether it is a gift card to a restaurant or a unique gift from one of our charming stores - shop local and it stays local!   
 
There are many events to take in over the next few weeks and shopping season is in full swing.  

This is the perfect time of the year to focus on the community.  Think about giving something special the Murray County Christmas project for the families who could use a little something special. Coats, hats, mittens, toys for children age birth through age 12 are always welcome.   Many of our local businesses and churches are collection sites for this project which helps over 150 families each year.     

This time of year can be very stressful, but think about how good it will feel to help out others in need.  Donation containers are located by the Christmas trees in the Government Center and Courts Building to collect donations of food for the Murray County Food Shelf.  Buy a little extra to help someone have a extra good meal this season.

Have a great week.
