St. Mark’s sets pet blessing

GENEVA – At least 200 animals are expected next month when St. Mark’s Episcopal Church hosts its sixth annual Blessing of the Animals.

The blessing is set for 1:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at the old Courthouse, 100 S. Third St., Geneva.

If this year is anything like last year, all kinds of pets – and their owners’ families – will attend, said parishioner Robert Langeness, who, with his wife, Joyce, volunteered to set up the event for the church.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
