  • Cool digs

    Cody Back, shown above, took advantage of the last two weeks of snow and cold to construct an igloo at his Robinwood Drive home. Helped by his parents, Scott Stolsenberg and Bettina Solas, Cody used recyling bins to mold the snow for the igloo, which features a lawn chair and lanterns inside. Warm temperatures in the next few days will test the igloo’s durability. (photo by Lauren Heaton)

  • Finders, seekers

    About 40 local children took part in a scavenger hunt downtown last Saturday, part of the Holiday in the Village activities organized by Chamber of Commerce employees Holly Simpson and Lauren Mikesell, who are now busy planning the adult version to take place this weekend. Shown above, Loren George and Tiger Jane Collins, both 5, showed off the items they found at the Yellow Springs Arts Council. The items found at each location went together to create a picture frame, which the children assembled at the the Senior Center, the hunt’s last stop. See more photos from the events on page 8.
