In the January 11, 2026, edition of The Meridian Weekly, the spirit of community and local achievement takes center stage. The issue highlights the successful Ashley Country Christmas, which transformed the village into a winter wonderland for thousands of visitors. Significant contributions to local education are also celebrated, as the Laingsburg Educational Advancement Foundation (LEAF) presented a check for over $42,000 to fund 25 innovative classroom grants. Looking ahead, the calendar is full with community gatherings like the Elsie Lions Club Wild Game Dinner, free spaghetti dinners from the Laingsburg Lions, and a Valentine’s Dance at the American Legion Post.
On the sports front, Laingsburg High School wrestlers Dylan Phillips and Cooper Mund brought home hardware from the prestigious Detroit Catholic Central Invitational. In local governance, Victor Township passed a 30-year electric franchise ordinance with Consumers Energy and announced a special budget workshop. The issue also provides essential community notices, including foreclosure details, probate court information for an estate, and reminders about free radon test kits from the health department. As always, the paper serves as a comprehensive hub for everything happening in and around the Meridian communities.
