Good morning, Eau Claire.

Hope Gospel Mission hosted its annual Christmas Community Dinner on Saturday in Eau Claire, serving 650 guests through dine-in and drive-through options and seeking volunteers year-round to support its rescue mission (reflecting strong local support).

Firefighters worked at the Eau Claire Brush Disposal site on Jeffers Road to put out a large fire that began Friday at 8:32 a.m. and flared Saturday morning as city and Forestry crews used water and heavy equipment and plan to haul the debris off when safe.

On Friday, Eau Claire Fire Department responded to a smoldering brush pile at the disposal site on Jeffers Rd using water and heavy equipment & crews returned Saturday morning when the pile began smoldering again to monitor conditions until the Forestry Department could haul it off.

On Saturday, UW-River Falls football aimed to earn a spot in the division three championship against Johns Hopkins while Team Hebert curling won the World Junior-B title, Eau Claire North hosted prep boys basketball, and UW-Stout men's basketball played on the road versus St. Mary’s.

Team Hebert from Eau Claire Curling Club dominated the World Junior-B Curling Championships in LOHJA, Finland with a 5-2 win over Switzerland and an 8-0 record all week long.
