ST. SEBASTIAN - The Christmas spirit will be shared with fallen veterans this weekend thanks to a colorful project undertaken by Maria Stein American Legion Auxiliary Unit 571.
Auxiliary President Rosie McClurg remembers leafing through a magazine a year ago and seeing a story about a project called Wreaths Across America. The idea of remembering deceased veterans during the holidays was appealing, but she knew purchasing more than 150 wreaths would be cost prohibitive. [More]
COLDWATER - Going to a state championship game is not a new feeling for the Coldwater football team.
