Whenever you run into local Meritt Hulst -- who has family connections to many in this area -- you can always pick his brain on local history. And we know first hand -- that's a treat. Merritt, along with his wife Analise -- are hosting a New Year's Eve Party at their Paradox House Bed & Breakfast next week, with an open invitation to the community. Each summer the couple host local history story telling evenings. 

From Merritt: "It's at 5 pm New Years Eve. People are to bring a dish. Party is over when the last person leaves."
