The event is sponsored by Diamond Senior Apartments. 

As snow and falling temperatures continue this season, here are some key points to remember: 

• Parking is prohibited on Village streets when two inches or more of snow has accumulated, one inch in the downtown business area.
• Don't shovel or blow snow into the streets.
• Keep your neighbors and yourself safe by shoveling curb ramps and digging out fire hydrants so they can be accessed quickly in a fire.
• Turn on your faucet to allow a small drip, preferably from a faucet on an outside wall. Open cabinets beneath sinks to allow warm air to flow. 
• If your pipes freeze, never try to thaw a pipe with a torch or other open flame because it causes a fire hazard.
• If your water pipes burst, turn off the water at the main shutoff valve and call a plumber for assistance.
• If you're leaving town, ask a friend or neighbor to check your house daily to make sure it’s warm enough to prevent freezing.
