In the heart of Lennox, under the warm glow of city hall lights, the council gathered for its regular meeting on November 25, 2024. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as members prepared to discuss key community matters. The evening began with a few adjustments to the agenda, notably the removal of the ash removal project and an executive session, allowing the council to focus on pressing issues and celebrations alike.

One of the highlights of the meeting was a heartfelt mayoral proclamation honoring the Lenox High School football team. Mayor Danny Fergan took a moment to recognize the team's impressive season, which concluded with a remarkable record of 10 wins and 2 losses. The team not only showcased their skills on the field but also represented the community with pride during the South Dakota State football tournament, culminating in a championship victory over Sioux Falls Christian High School.

As the mayor read the proclamation, the room filled with a sense of pride and camaraderie. "This is our way of the city to say congratulations," Fergan declared, encouraging all residents to celebrate the team's achievements. The proclamation served as a reminder of the unity and spirit that sports can foster within a community, as well as the importance of sportsmanship and competition.

With the council's approval of the amended agenda, the meeting transitioned smoothly, but the celebration of the football team's success lingered in the air, leaving attendees with a sense of hope and community pride. As the evening drew to a close, the council members and guests prepared for a photo opportunity, capturing a moment that would resonate within the community for years to come.
