The night was full of twinkling lights in the Village of Hussar on Saturday, December 4 as displays were lit up for the seventh annual Light Up the Night event. Funds raised from the event this year went to the Hussar Crisis fund, and the committee announced they had raised $1,500 and the winners of this year’s competition were Daun and Murray Brown. Displays will be up throughout the month of December. More displays can also be seen on the Hussar Light Up the Night Facebook page.

Although the Rockyford School closed its doors in June 2016, an old PA system from the school will help breathe new life into a neighbouring Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) school in Strathmore.
The unnamed Strathmore school’s PA system previously failed and there has been some issues getting parts, and a request for the system from GHSD was put before Rockyford council at the regular Tuesday, November 23 council meeting.
“One of the schools in Strathmore, the PA system is dead and they can’t get parts--whether it be part of a supply chain issue, they cannot get parts for this PA system,” said Rockyford Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Elaine MacDonald during the meeting.
The village has had no use for the old system, and there were no intentions to use the system in the future.
Council voted in favour of helping out their neighbouring municipality and giving the old PA system to the school in Strathmore.
