Congratulations to our 2019 Gingerbread House Contest winners: Kim Erbe and Simon Hickland!!
All food and cash donated as part of the voting for this event go directly to the Salem Area Food Pantry. Thanks so much to all who participated and voted.
AMENDED TO ADD: There will be NO DMV in Salem today. We just received the call. The roads have gotten too bad, so they cannot make the trip over. See the Washington County DMV calendar to find other mobile DMV sites throughout the month.
Tomorrow (11/19/19) is supposed to be a mobile DMV day here in our building, but we have been informed that the weather may prevent them from getting here. The decision will be made in the morning as to whether or not DMV will be in Salem tomorrow. Please call the main office at 518-746-2163 before heading in.
If you’re a little intimidated by the idea of making a gingerbread house, then this is the program for you!
