Valentine's Day

As Valentine’s Day approaches, couples across Fayette are celebrating love in ways that reflect their own stories, some with grand gestures, others with quiet evenings at home. For three local couples at different stages of life, the holiday isn’t about extravagance so much as appreciation, commitment and simply spending time together.

The Fayette Medical Center Long-Term Care Facility celebrated it’s annual Valentine’s Banquet at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14. The theme for this year’s celebration was Candyland. Residents enjoyed a wonderful meal, featuring their choice of ribeye steak or grilled chicken. The residents were served restaurant-style by Fayette Middle School, Fayette County High School and Bevill State Community College Nursing Students.
