Driving Safety Tip
OFA Footloose
On cold frosty mornings before you start out scrape all the ice and frost off your windows. If not, you could end up like this driver who headed out into the bright sun-light morning without cleaning his windows properly. The few minuets it takes to clean the windows is well worth it.

OFA’s production of "Footloose" was presented at the OAMS Theater on February 11,12,13. It is a musical story of a city kid forced to move to a conservative town where dancing is not allowed. His love of music and dancing disrupts his high school and sends the local preacher into a frenzy.
Leads included the following OFA students: Keegan Evans as Ren McCormack, Maria Alvarez as Ariel Moore, Kyle Shuey as Willard Hewitt, Ashley Lux as Rusty, Brian Ives as Reverend Shaw Moore, Dierdre Nolis as Vi Moore, Alysah Berwald as Ethel McCormack.
“Putting It All Together” Community Expo The 2nd Annual Community Expo will be held on Wednesday, March 30, from 1 – 6PM at the new Waverly Village Hall, 32 Ithaca Street, Waverly, New York. The name of “Putting it all Together” has been chosen by the Planning Committee, as we can make a huge difference in the lives of our residents when we bring together all the resources our area has to offer. The first Expo was held last March, in Owego, so this year the planners decided to move the event to the Valley. The purpose of the Expo is to show-
STILL THE LOWEST PRICE IN TOWN

There will be fun, family-oriented activities and giveaway items available from the exhibitors, as well as refreshments. Please plan to join us!
