After a warmer than average December, winter hit Grundy County with a vengeance this week, with the season’s first major snow storm and the area’s sharpest cold snap since last February. Monday’s snowstorm dropped between four and six inches of powder on the area and was followed by bitterly cold temperatures. Monday night’s official low in Grundy Center was 14 degrees below zero, and predictions for later in the week called for even colder readings. Pictured is the digging-out process from Monday’s snow.

    GRUNDY CENTER — Attendance issues have plagued movie theaters nationwide the past several years, and that trend has not escaped Grundy Center’s Center Theatre. The issue is so severe, according to theater manager Mike Steinmeyer, that if things do not turn around the theater could be in danger of closing.
    “The theater simply needs more attendance to stay open and keep our status with movie companies so we can continue to get current movie releases,” he said.

    GRUNDY CENTER —  Providing community members with the tools to improve personal health is the goal of the Grundy County  Wellness Fair Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Grundy County Memorial Hospital. Sponsors of the annual event, the Grundy County Wellness Coalition and the Grundy County Farm Bureau, have assembled more than thirty exhibits and activities for the Wellness Fair, which is free and open to everyone.
     Resources for health and well-being are available at the Fair, including free and low cost health screenings, nutrition know-how, and exercise demonstrations.
