Tuesday, Dec. 1, the second of the St. Louis KETC Channel 9’s series on Cuba, MO was posted on their website. It features interviews with Mardy Leathers, Jim Barnett, Jill Barnett, and Bob Baldwin.
The interviewees stressed Cuba’s community spirit, resilence, and close family ties. Scenes from Cuba’s streets played on the screen.
To see the video go here.
To see that community spirit in action, visit the Chamber of Commerce events page and the Cuba Free Press for the events taking place on Saturday and Sunday in Cuba to kick-off the holiday season.
A drive through town yesterday, showed a lot of businesses busy putting up lights and wreaths before the snow comes in later today. Saturday the 4-H kids put some great lights and greenery on the fence of the Catholic Cemetery, and they looked pretty last night.
I have heard reports of Santa coming to town, a parade, and caroling on Saturday. The Methodists are having a Cookie Walk. Sunday is Viva Cuba’s Yuletide Tour. Churches are practicing for pageants and concerts. Churches, businesses, and other groups are collecting food and gifts for those who need it. If you have specific events you would like to mention, put the in our comment section below.
Snow and Santa are on the way!

Someone just told me that the snow went south of us. That’s disappointing. Maybe we will have a white Christmas.
