AlthoughVeterans Day <strong>2023</strong><br />
has passed, I would like to<br />
take this opportunity to send<br />
a note of gratitude to all the<br />
Veterans who are serving or<br />
who have served our country.<br />
HVL honors Veterans<br />
throughout the year. The flag<br />
memorial across from the<br />
Community Center is a beautiful<br />
and constant reminder of<br />
their contribution.<br />
Rumor has it that everyone<br />
survived the Annual Haunted<br />
Hayride and no one ran away<br />
scared and screaming! To<br />
quote a friend of mine, “It<br />
was a Spooktacular Success!”<br />
This event has grown in<br />
popularity each year. This<br />
year, the event included eleven<br />
trailers and drivers, over<br />
twenty decorated houses on<br />
the route, and seven nonprofit<br />
vendors who sold food and<br />
provided activities and games<br />
for people as they waited for<br />
their turns on the hayride.<br />
Even though the weather tried<br />
to complicate the evening,<br />
Over one thousand people<br />
enjoyed this year’s hayride<br />
experience!<br />
A contest was held for the<br />
best-decorated house. The<br />
winners chosen by the community<br />
were the Davis family,<br />
first place; the Paolello family,<br />
second place; the Egan<br />
Family, third place.<br />
Christy and Todd Milders<br />
are November’s Garden Club<br />
Yard-of-the-Month winners.<br />
Their yard was full of fun<br />
regular price<br />
decorations with spooky spiders<br />
steaks and seafood a beautiful lawn.<br />

Pick up your Christmas Child<br />
Shoebox, fill it, and return the<br />
filled shoebox to a collection<br />
bin at the POA Office. Please<br />
remember: no food, candy,<br />
toothpaste, or liquid items.<br />
SEI Fiber Yard Signs are<br />
popping up all over Hidden<br />
Valley Lake. A sign is placed<br />
in the yard of new subscribers<br />
to SEI Fiber Optics services.<br />
For additional information<br />
call Southeastern REMC<br />
directly at 800-689-4111.<br />
A sure sign that cooler temperatures<br />
are on the way was<br />
when the sluice gate opened<br />
on Nov. 6. Every year in early<br />
November the gate is opened<br />
to lower the lake so that maintenance<br />
can be performed on<br />
docks and the shoreline.<br />
Even though the sluice gate<br />
is open, boats have been put<br />
in storage for the winter, and<br />
the colorful trees have finally<br />
lost their leaves, the Civic<br />
Club is planning several activities<br />
for the winter months.<br />
The tree lighting around the<br />
gazebo will be on <strong>Dec</strong>. 2 at<br />
4:30 P.M. And to start the<br />
New Year out right, that invigorating<br />
Polar Plunge at the<br />
Beach will be on Jan. 1 from<br />
11:30 A.M. to 1 P.M. Please<br />
mark your calendars before<br />
they fill up with other holiday<br />
events.<br />
As we prepare for Thanksgiving,<br />
I would like to thank<br />
all of you for the opportunity<br />
to write the HVL article for<br />
the <strong>Beacon</strong>. Writing it has<br />
allowed me to meet new,<br />
wonderful people and helped<br />
me appreciate even more the<br />
special community in which<br />
we live.<br />
I wish all of you a very<br />
blessed Thanksgiving!<br />
