in your Jack Sports recap. Our middle school teams had the day off yesterday. And in high school news, rough night yesterday, art Jacks and Lady Jacks teams all suffered losses in game games. Played. Keep working on it. Jax, you'll get 'em next time.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate today is International Denim Day and it's also International Dance Day and International Guide Dog Day. Now, I don't have a guide dog, so I'm not sure I can do much about that, but. With it being Denim Day and International Dance Day, I can say that you have a chance to throw on your favorite pair of jeans and go out to the city of George Line Dancing Lessons for [00:02:00] Beginners.

That's offered Wednesday evenings from six to 7:30 PM at the George Community Hall and celebrate both dance and denim. It's kind of a win-win today around Pound at the Senior Center Bridges at 12:30 PM for Crafters. There's a chat and stitch at 1:00 PM. And the lunch menu is posted on the notes section over the Welcome to Quincy wall.com website.

As always tonight, gather a group of friends and have a great time learning something new. Head out to the city of George.
