ASSEMBLY CREW Cody Rice and Kayla Beatty of Mullenbach Funeral Home stepped in this year to assemble hundreds of luminaria for display along state Route 2, a Christmas project of the Wellsburg Kiwanis Club. Because of the inclement weather on Christmas Eve, the club and other volunteers instead will place the lights along the highway and other areas of the city on New Year’s Eve.

WELLSBURG With some changes, two Wellsburg traditions will mark the arrival of 2021 with lights and fireworks.
Joe Mullenbach, co-chairman, with Sean Jackson of the Wellsburg Kiwanis Club’s luminaria project, said because of the heavy snow that was forecast for Christmas Eve, the decision was made not to set about 1,000 bagged candles out along state Route 2 and other areas of the city on that day.

WELLSBURG Since the pandemic reached northern West Virginia earlier this year, the Brooke County Ambulance Service has been among many first responders and healthcare workers putting in additional hours and extra effort to treat those diagnosed with COVID-19 and take measures to prevent its spread.
And a few have gone one step further, delivering care packages to residents who have been quarantined on their own time and with help from the community.
