Happy New Year from Barbour County.   

Did you make any resolutions? I usually don’t, but this year, I’m going to do better at getting the news in more timely. With the holidays and vacations, I have some work to do, so this year, I resolve to be better at the Barbour County news.

Did you stay up and see the new year in? Maybe you watched the ball drop in Times Square, or just maybe you watched it drop in Philippi? That’s right, Barbour County had their own ball drop this year in downtown Philippi. Maybe this will become a tradition.    

17 North Event Center will be hosting bingo/trivia/square dancing fun this month. Trivia will be on Jan. 16. Doors open at 6:30, with the trivia starting at 7. Square dancing on Jan. 22 from 6-8 p.m. All entrance will be donations to Barbour County Animal Friends. Join in for fun times and support animals as well.

The former Station One in Junior has opened under new ownership. Stop by and check it out. Support local small businesses.   

If you have any Barbour County news that you would like to see in The Inter Mountain, give me a call at 304-614-7782. I love hearing from you.

Until next time: what the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year.
