Good morning and happy Friday to you!
It’s a chilly, partly cloudy Friday here in Metropolis and Massac County, with a high today right around 49 degrees and a north-northwest breeze making it feel a little cooler, so grab a warm jacket if you’re heading out early. It’s a fine day to get out and about, though — the Christmas Barn Sale Trail is in full swing today with free admission at more than 14 decorated barns all across Massac County, and if you’re out running errands, the C.O.P.E. Food Pantry distribution runs from 9:00 this morning until 3:00 this afternoon at 1013 North Avenue. Today is also the last day to order your yard sign for the Massac County Christmas Light Trail, so don’t let that deadline slip by. Later on, the Nifty Needles group gathers at 4:30 in the basement of the Metropolis Public Library, and as the day winds down and the sun sets at 4:46 this evening, we’ll settle into a cold night with lows down around 28 — so bundle up tonight, and have a wonderful Friday, Metropolis and Massac County.
