Shaughnessey appointed as supervisor Antioch Township decided Dec. 14 By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
Lighted display The Village of Antioch features several exhibits to get residents into the holiday spirit, including Shadowboxes, or Kringle in the downtown area. Visitors still have until Dec. 25 to view the 6-foot scenes in the downtown area under the Big Top Tent. According to the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, the displays are ideal for group tours and school groups. Along with Shadowboxes, the downtown Antioch area offers Dickens Holiday Village, a public art program consisting of handcrafted Dickens Characters made by volunteer artists. Each character has a plaque illustrating the scene and serves as an educational tool for students.

He doesn’t know anything about township law,” Davis responded, indicating crossed her fingers. Davis also mentioned that they could consult attorney Keri-Lyn Krafthefer if there was a need. Grant asked when this was discussed and trustee Kris Shepard said, “In executive session.” Township clerk Anita Dyer said that it was after that meeting, but Shepard disagreed.
