From the Nov. 27 regular Creston town council meeting:
•Crista Komar, who coordinates the Success by Six program, gave council a report on the year’s activities.
She described events including the Magic School Bus, Kidapalooza, a Little Warriors workshop on child sexual abuse awareness, a strategic planning process and other activities that she said added up to a busy, successful year.
