The Meridian Weekly – November 30, 2025

This week’s edition is bursting with festive spirit, from the magical transformation of Laingsburg into “Elfburg” for its week-long Winterfest extravaganza to Elsie’s annual Christmas Celebration featuring Santa’s arrival and the beloved light parade. We’re also sharing important community updates, including the stepping down of Elsie Fire Chief Zak McNamara and numerous opportunities to give back, from the “Fill a Cop Car” food drive to the Christmas Wishes program for local children. Be sure to check out our sports sections celebrating our local gridiron stars, browse the obituaries to pay your respects, and mark your calendars with all the wonderful church services, library events, and township meetings happening across our communities. From all of us at The Meridian Weekly, we wish you a joyful and safe start to this holiday period
