EVERYONE SHOULD be feeling the holiday spirit by now. And if you are not, how about this drawing by local artist Susie Brandes sent via email by the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation for Christmas? It is a great drawing of the Ruddell Pavilion on the WACF grounds south of Syracuse on SR 13 decked out for the holidays. It is so pretty.The message reads “The holiday season allows us to slow down and appreciate the things we cherish in our lives. The WACF is thankful for each and every one of you, our loyal supporters, who help us preserve and protect the many lakes in our watershed and our most precious natural resource, CLEAN WATER! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and joyous New Year!”
