This was the first time I remember not being here in Warwick for Christmas. While I would not have missed a special wedding for my niece it did feel like something was just missing. It was on our way back when we began our drive down into our magical valley that all seemed right in the world, and a peaceful feeling settled in once again. It is easy with our busy lives to take this place for granted sometimes which makes it so important to stop and soak it in whenever you can. On behalf of the Town Board we wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
