Dear Readers As we step into 2026, I want to wish all our readers a happy and healthy New Year. May it bring new opportunities, moments of joy, and time to enjoy our wonderful Greyton community. A new year is always a chance for fresh intentions and resolutions – whether it’s supporting local businesses, spending more time outdoors, or simply slowing down to appreciate the little things that make our valley so special. Let’s also hope for a safer year, with fewer fires and happier animals and humans alike. The Greyton Post is proud to continue sharing stories, updates, and insights about the people and events that make our village extraordinary. To help us keep the paper free for those who may
