fall this morning if if you had that at your house no school delays yet but i'm sure we've got some of those coming up later on during the winter time but that first snow always gets you kind of prepared for the holidays and we want to help prepare you for the holidays with our annual light up night at the village of nisha now that happens two days before it happens here at the library which is a great great event if you haven't been to that i think that's the summer the  second the light up night right there at the library and it's a great event of lights and crafts and food and but the two days before that down in the village if you haven't been there so far we're kind of a village of in five gallon buckets and later on maybe i'll get the recipe for those buckets to kelsey at some time and she can give you that recipe on the air but these five gallon buckets full of cleaning supplies that are sent all across the country to natural disasters and we've had our share of natural disasters this this spring and fall and summer and now  first winter snowfall of the season plus the wildfires that are going on in california anyway so there's been a great need for these flood disaster buckets they cost about sixty to seventy five dollars to fill and but anyway we were able to raise enough money to fill about one hundred of these and send them to do our warehouses across the country and then they'll go to the places where they need them whether it's a hurricane or flood or other natural disaster also with health kits we make those in school kids to again maybe by the time you see this we'll have a recipe that you can put on on the air at the same time and you can fill those and bring them to  a village if you remember the colonial a definition of a village is that you have to have a church you have to have a school restaurant a pub of some kind in a store and we've got all of those  in our village so we would fulfill what is called actual village in america so come on out and see if one of these times before we go any further i just want to say some  just condolences to the family of irma grego as she got me involved here with even doing these t v spots

folks that are coming out from beverly kentucky because they really need to make those funds this is thing themselves in their humble homes in appalachia so we don't we can't sell anything that these folks would already be making afternoons and it was just just wonderful fact they've got some programs coming up i think new lawn is showing right now by the abbey players for this this would be the weekend before thanksgiving  summer what we do is we kind of put it all in the perspective of the narrative of what was going on in seven hundred seventy four here in peter's that was still in virginia at that time in retrospect with what was going on of the country store lately invited due to go over their place is packed if you go by their breakfast time starting about six o'clock on for the rest of the day they've got their own full time cook over there now and i think  i don't think they cook breakfast on mondays but or sundays but i believe the rest of the week tuesday through saturday it's a great menu and you may stand in line over there the countries to are they just got some  trees that will have over in the church will be part of those the paper chains that i know folks from the school district here are making our folks at our children the church are making to what that means to be a chain a chain for change so we'll have a paper chain going from the church to the parson's house over all the way over to the school building and be around one of the responders in peter's township we want to celebrate them and want them to come and be a part be a part of our light up night weekend of ember the thirtieth and december the first if you seen been a part of house plays in the band in the marching band the mighty peter indian marching band i think is what they call themselves and it might be indians or warriors or something like that but but it's great and if you've had a chance that to be a part of that it's just volunteers boosters that that kind of help that program run by the time you see this we don't know hopefully maybe we'll be in the state champs by that time or the playoffs but if you've been following on them all along  you had a chance to maybe go to some of the home games when it was still kind of warmer weather if you haven't had a chance to do that encouraged to go to maybe one of the playoff games that they play them in neutral fields i don't remember doing that when when i was growing up but that's what they do now so everybody have to bring your own fan base and you haven't seen them so far come on out there's a movie ads been out a few years ago came out about two thousand and six and then became a t v series it's  called friday night lights you know they do this on the way they feature high school football now in most of the local channels they call it friday night lights or friday night this but came from that movie in two thousand and six i think every player every coach every fan or family needs the watch this movie friday night lights at the beginning of the season if you play baseball you need to watch like field of dreams i do at the beginning of every baseball season and even basketball you need to see that movie hoosiers that's about a basketball movie about indiana back in the fifty's when away if you haven't seen friday night lights get a chance to i think you get to watch it on netflix an hour or  buy it and the movie somewhere along the way it's a story about a football team the football team from adesa texas two towns very close together middle and odessa they're ten miles apart midland texas is a white collar community  the heads of the big oil companies exxon mobil lived in midland texas and then odessa ten miles away were the blue collar folks working folks the roughnecks the pipeline folks that worked out into the fields so two towns ten miles apart with two different socio economic areas and the one time the folks from odessa could really kick the tail of the folks in midland was in football and so they put everything they could into their football his team is exactly i think what we're asked to do as as human beings as we embrace each other not only around the holidays but all the time the faithful season began he told his players the coach said by the time we get to the game you'll be perfect you understand you'll be you'll be perfect and so you ran him up and down the field as he would blocking tackling dummies scrimmaging screaming yelling whistling blowing ranting raving injuries that came during the season and every time he'd remind them by the time we get to the game you'll be perfect and that game finally came and very quietly the coach looked into the faces of all those kids and said well i about to tell you what perfect is if two and a half hours from now you can come back into the dressing room and walk around and look into the face of every member of your team and with love in your heart say to them i gave you the best i have you know what perfect is happy thanksgiving to you merry christmas and all the holidays that you do celebrate in your family be filled with joy and peace richard roberts from the village of in the ship god
