The Freedom Parade in Navasota was good. It was nice to see people not only in the parade but also there to watch the celebration. Paige, Chucky and I decided to come home afterwards but later regretted not staying for the fireworks. Pictures on Facebook looked like it was a fun time. Yes, Mayor Charlie was riding in the “memo” and waving to the crowds. Paige and I crossed the median to get a close picture and also to support him. Children on bikes show true respect for the “American Way”.

We start the week by announcing key wins in Richards. Tyler Calhoun, age 15, competed in the National High School Rodeo Finals in Lincoln, Nebraska July 18- 24 and earned Texas High School Rodeo Association (THSRA) Reserve Champion Tie Down Roper.

The Falco Venue had a special opening that included tours of the building and outside area last Saturday. I decided to go and take the tour. The owner, Sonya Floyd, was correct when she told me earlier that the view was awesome. If you stand at the outside chapel area, you can see for a good distance and if you sit at the tables in the pavilion area, the breeze has such a cool calming effect. If you are interested in celebrating in the White Hall community, you can call Sonya at 979-450-2309.
