The stage is set for a weekend packed with comedy, singing, and dancing as all five high schools in Marion County prepare for plays, including four musicals. In Marion, around 50 students are practicing for “Grease” directed by Janet Killough. A cast of 18 Centre students are preparing for the comedy, “Chateau La Roach,” directed by Jennifer Montgomery, Lynley Remy, and Sharon Matz.

Marlene Anduss of Marion is pictured displaying some of her collection of 1,963 sets of salt and pepper shakers. They are displayed in a special room built onto the Anduss house at 1015 E. Main.

Marion city workers have been busy the past several weeks, testing and replacing Christmas lights on buildings. The city provides this service to businesses and individuals who originally paid for the lights several years ago. The lights will be turned on Thanksgiving Day.

Nine Marion Warriors have been named all-league. Included are volleyball players Julia Zeiner and Lindsay Hett and football players Matt Thierolf, Nick and Brad Klenda, Sheldon Boone, Luke Gordon, Parker Ash, and Mitchell Leppke.
