Driving around town to view lights is a COVID-safe activity that families can enjoy from the warmth of their vehicles, maybe with hot chocolate thrown in. Though the weather has been unseasonably warm, expect temperatures to drop into the teens at night beginning tonight, returning to normal for late December, according to the National Weather Service.

COURTESY PHOTO A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS VISIT — Betty Kriegh McGuire, a 95-year-old resident at Shepherd’s View Assisted Living Facility in Alton, had a very special Christmas visitor at her window on Saturday: her great-great-granddaughter, 4-year old Kennedy Smith, daughter of Seth and Amorie Smith of West Plains. The mo- ment was captured by Micki McGuire of Co- lumbia, who shared the photo with the Quill. She added that because of COVID-19, Shep- herd’s View has had to restrict normal visits for months, so Kennedy’s window greeting brought a special Christmas smile to Betty’s face. Betty is the eldest daughter of longtime KWPM West Plains weather radio broadcast- ers Percival and Julia Kriegh.
