Mix some sunshine and snow, and drizzle in a little rain. Mix often, and, you have the recipe for March in the Miami Valley. But it also means spring is coming and the little shoots of green from early flowers brighten your day.

This month will see activity at the American Legion with their recognition and birthday banquet on March 13.

The seafood will also include coleslaw, French fries, hush puppies and apple sauce. The serving begins at 5 and ends at 6:30 p.m. This meal is served for only $7.

Don’t forget breakfast now being served at the Legion on week days from 7 to 10 a.m. You can get hot coffee and plenty of conversation at the newest morning gathering place in New Madison. There is a breakfast menu including biscuits and gravy.
