It may have been a dreary weekend, but that didn’t put a damper on the Delhi Harvest Festival Saturday or the Out of the Darkness walk Sunday.
Last week’s trivia question: Sept. 18 of what year was the Soldiers’ Monument dedicated at the Courthouse Square? It was 1906.
This week’s trivia question is in what year did the construction of a chapel at St. John’s Episcopal Church begin?
Community volunteers of the week are the brothers of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, who not only helped set up and clean up the Delhi Harvest Festival but also organized and ran their own event Sunday to support suicide prevention. We are lucky to have a group willing to help in the community.
