Welcome to the December 7th edition of The Meridian Weekly, where our communities are fully immersed in the magic of the season! This week, we’re shining a spotlight on the festive Ashley Country Christmas, with its iconic Polar Express steam engine, Santa visits, and charming vendors. We celebrate our community’s incredible heart, from the generous $2,000 donation raised at the Ovid community Thanksgiving meal to support the Christmas Basket Project, to the 500 pounds of food collected by Muse Hair Lounge.
Sports fans can read about post-season honors for our Ovid-Elsie and Laingsburg volleyball stars, while those looking to give back have multiple opportunities, including the Ovid “Home for the Holidays” light parade and the final call for Christmas Basket donations.
As always, we bring you local obituaries, church events, township news, and insightful columns—all the stories that connect us. From our family to yours, we wish you a week filled with joy, warmth, and hometown spirit.
