That’s exactly what Meals on Wheels of Greenville plans to do for their second annual “Mealed It!” decorating competition tonight (Tues., Nov. 30) at 7 p.m. on Facebook.

NEWS NOTES

Weather

• 65º | Sunny | 0% chance of rain

Announced

• The Greenville Poinsettia Christmas Parade will be led by Greenville educator and resident Pearlie Harris this Saturday. Pearlie taught in Greenville for 37 years, including during integration — a legacy memorialized by an eight-story mural downtown. (WYFF 4)
• The “Pelzer Light People” decorated Adger Street for 24 years at the hands of Louise Watson until she became too elderly to put on the display, but last year her family revived the tradition.

REWARDS

THE WRAP

Editor's Pick: Speaking of Woodside Bistro...as a vegetarian, it's awesome to see a "plant-based" section of any menu. I'll definitely be trying the lettuce wraps or the vegan burger.
