Out Lexington Way: Historical Society holds a successful Archival Day

The Lexington Historical Society held their annual Archival Day at the Historical Building on Oct. 19.

What a wonderful attendance to hear porcupine expert Uldis Roze. His presentation was so interesting and informative.

The bake sale was a success and the chili and rolls disappeared quickly. The exhibits are always a pleasure to check out — lots to see — photos, memorabilia, family histories.

Town of Lexington Fire Company annual dinner was held Oct. 19 at The Captain’s Inn Point Lookout.

Congratulations to all the award winners. Judy Visich presented Michael Falke with the “Visich Beyond the Call of Duty Award.”

The “Visich Beyond the Call to Duty Award” is awarded to members of the Lexington Fire Company whose exemplary efforts and actions have been recognized by their peers as above and beyond the call of duty.

All of you who volunteer your time, risk your lives, take classes, participate on calls and make yourselves available to serve others are heroes.
