Winterpalooza

Our annual camper retreat is coming up in a month and a half! If you'd like to be back at LCCC to celebrate the New Year, go visit www.ligoniercamp.org and click on the snowflake logo to download a registration form. We'd love to have you there.
Our theme for the weekend is "X Marks the Spot" - and we're all going to dress up as pirates to bring in 2010. We have a fabulous party complete with DJs as well as tons of wacky games, skits, talks, and (hopefully) snow activities.
Sign up soon or the spots may be gone!

Weather report: snow!

This week, the weather report is calling for snow to fall on Ligonier - today, in fact! Our prayer is that the snow and ground freeze will both hold off a while longer. Our wonderful contractors and engineers are working so hard to get the essentials of the new dining hall finished before the ground freezes and snow takes over - so we're not quite ready for the flurries to fly.
It looks as if we won't have any "problem" snow this week - just some light flakes falling lazily to the ground, if they're lucky enough to make it without melting!
That said, snow is a beautiful event up here - everything gets quiet, and there's a little extra chill in the air, and we all curl up in our houses with our fireplaces roaring to enjoy a relaxed "mountain" evening at home. While snow definitely causes all kinds of concerns - driving, salting, plowing, freezing - it also has some pretty great perks!
