Community Notes
Memorial Tree on Dec 1
The Soda Springs Library will once again be the site of the Memorial Tree. The event will be a time to pay respect to the memories of those who have passed. Originally a project of the Senior Center, the Memorial Tree allows those who wish to celebrate loved ones who have passed on to place an ornament on the tree in their memory.
A program will be held featuring music provided by Alana Burns and Tanner Davis, as well as the Soda Springs District Orchestra under the direction of Debbie Hansen.
A talk will be given by Rich Evans, after which guests are invited to hang a ribbon or ornament on the tree at the library.
The program is non-denominational, and everyone in the community is welcome.
The ornaments will remain hanging from the tree until the beginning of the new year in remembrance of those who have passed on.
The memorial tree is sponsored by Bayer, and is supported by the library in the use of their facilities.
Daryl and Jerrilynn Harrison are responsible for organizing and putting together this year’s Memorial tree. Stop by the library anytime after Dec 1 during the season to take a look at the tree after the event if you can’t make it, and maybe leave an ornament for a missed loved one of your own.

Raffle tickets will be sold at the cost of $5/each, or 6 tickets for $25. The raffle will include a Mossberg Patriot 270 Winchester. More information will be posted as it develops.
Snow Concerns
Across the valley, the dreaded “S” word is ready to gentle pounce any second now. As snow begins to accumulate, make sure to check with your individual location’s snow removal and parking rules.
In the towns and cities, the consensus is that parking off the street will allow snowplows the space they need to clear the roads. Residents are encouraged to make sure the streets are clear of vehicles during periods of snowfall or anticipated snowfall, with the potential for fines or other repercussions for failing to do so.
We will bring you an update on each individual location’s specific ordinances as the white stuff gets closer to its appearance.
