Post your holiday decor; chance of rain tomorrow night; Mohr hosts a movie; land trust meets; and today in history: Sgt. King.

$100k For Kids: We're looking for houses in Johnston that are decked out for the holiday — and could be the winner of $100,000 for local schools. Read more info and rules.

Weather: Our friends at Weatherbug predict mostly sunny today with highs around 40. Clouds gather overnight, with a chance of rain tomorrow morning and highs in the mid 50s.

Cheating: If you're dropping by Mohr Library for the 3 p.m. showing of Hellboy and didn't attend the other meetings of the Graphic Novel Club. And also, you missed some lively conversation, I'm certain.

Gov't: There are some areas of Johnston that can't be built on — and there's the Johnston Land Trust to make sure they stay that way. The panel is scheduled to meet tonight at 7 p.m. at Johnston Senior Center.
