Just a reminder that the 2022 City of Williamsburg Feels Like Home Christmas in a Small Town Parade is slated for Saturday evening on Main Street, and the Jellico Christmas Parade is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday. A lot of work goes into the planning of community events, such as...

Now that we’ve all had a few days to absorb the events of last week’s state football championship, allow me to offer up a few thoughts…
