My Perfect Christmas by Cody Coulston My perfect Christmas would be waking up and seeing a scooter, a video game and just all sorts of cool toys. Also, we don't have to wait to open presents. We always have to wait because my mom and dad always have to get their coffee before we can open presents. Another perfect thing would be that all my family would come and watch a movie and have donuts. If I could have all that, that would be the most amazing thing that could ever happen in the world. But t... Full story

WAITSBURG-Kindness is alive in Waitsburg. It seems like a prerequisite to becoming part of the community. It comes in all shapes and sizes, in acts big and small.

The year started strong, with more than 2,000 pounds of food distributed to Waitsburg and surrounding community members. The Waitsburg Christian Church, then led by Pastor Matthew Wyatt, helped organize the day-long event, partnering with... Full story

I have been busy driving around the past couple of weeks, finding fun gift ideas from local businesses. Gaudy Gals on Main is a true gem that is found close to home in Waitsburg. It is the type of store that I visit when I'm not sure what I want to get. I have yet to leave without that perfect, didn't-know-I-needed-it gift from the Main Street store. Located inside Waitsburg's Town Hall, Gaudy Gals is packed full of unique antiques, gorgeous jewelry, delicious candles, tea towels, and some of th...
Among the things I love about living in Waitsburg are the packages of homemade Christmas cookies that we receive from several of our neighbors this time of year. Brightly frosted sugar cookies, chocolate crinkles, and spiced oatmeal raisin are just a few of the sweet delights already lovingly gifted to us this holiday season. A simple but thoughtful gesture, the sharing of treats from home kitchens is the kind of thing that gives small towns such big hearts. With platters of assorted baked...

Ten Years Ago December 15, 2011 Waitsburg’s Town Hall was turned into a child’s Christmas-shopping paradise last Thursday night. For about 15 years, community volunteer Rose Englebrite said the hall has played host to vendors who set up tables and sell gifts for $10 and under for the community children to purchase as gifts for their families. “It’s just a night for the kids to come out and shop for what they want to,” Englebrite said.
