Thanks to the cooperation between Union County and UCBPA, the gazebo remained lighted each evening until after the holidays.
President Charlie Hamilton read the winning ticket number for the handmade Christmas Tree Quilt at the Union County Historical Society Christmas Brunch on December 17 at the Union County Museum.

Plainview announced the opening of the new bay at the Plainview Fire Station on December 30. The new bay is large enough to accommodate a 3500-gallon pumper.

Chief Woods further explained that this new bay means that structure fires can be fought in Plainview, Luttrell and especially in parts of the county where no hydrants exist with minimal transporting of water.
