On the way home, the group viewed another festival of lights north of McPherson. Marie Jantz, John Reimer, Esther Flaming, Linda Deasy, Martha Peters, Lois Janzen, Rosella Wedel, Elda Banman, Irma Schroeder and Willis and Ruth Ann Penner made the trip.
The New Year was celebrated Jan. 2 with a quiz of famous things that happened during various years and by remembering highlights of 2001.

On Jan. 10, the seniors took a van trip to Hutchinson. Those going were Ernest and Elma Goertz, Dannie and Alice Schmidt, Tony and Joan Epp, Ruth Brandt, Rosella Wedel, Emil Dirks, Esther Flaming, and Willis and Ruth Ann Penner. The group saw Antarctic Adventure at the Imax Theater and ate at Furrs Cafeteria.
