TOGETHER WITH

It’s Monday, December 30th, and this winter is feeling more like a soggy spring fling. With temps in the 40s and rain soaking just about everything, it’s hard to believe New Year’s Eve is just around the corner! Gone are the snowdrifts and frostbite fears—this year, it’s all puddles and perfectly good excuses to stay inside.

Since this is our last newsletter of 2024 (don’t cry; we’ll be back in 2025!), we’re here to help you end the year on a high note. Whether you’re braving the drizzle for local NYE celebrations or planning a cozy countdown at home, we’ve got all the events and updates you need to ring in the new year. Let’s dive in—rain boots highly recommended!

In today’s South Side Scoop:

Let’s get to it!

Start your new year with wellness at Salty Woods, located at 200 Byrd Way, Ste 115, in Greenwood! Throughout January, enjoy unlimited salt therapy sessions for just $75. Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, is a natural way to breathe easier and feel better.

Whether you're seeking relief from respiratory issues, looking to enhance your skin, or simply aiming to reduce stress, our unlimited January package offers an affordable opportunity to incorporate halotherapy into your wellness routine.

This special deal must be purchased by December 31, 2024 and quantities are limited—don’t miss out!

Got an artificial Christmas tree ready to retire? Donate it to Kelsay Farms to help complete a new section for next year’s Holiday Stroll! They’re accepting artificial trees (pre-lit is fine, even if the lights don’t work!) through January 12. Drop them off at the porch of the green-and-white barn on the south driveway at 6848 North 250 East, Whiteland, IN. No live trees, lights, or decorations, please—just your gently used fake trees! They thank you for your donations!

Need to get rid of your fresh Christmas tree? Scouts BSA Troop 263 in Greenwood is offering tree pickup for Greenwood and Bargersville residents! For a suggested donation of $10–$20, they’ll pick up your tree on January 4, 2025, between 8 AM and 11 AM. Simply contact them with your name, address, and donation details. Then, set your tree at the curb on the evening of January 3. Remember, this service is for fresh trees only—no artificial ones—and all decorations, lights, and tinsel must be removed. To schedule a pickup, text or call (317) 447-9403 or email [email protected].
