First Responder’s Day May 15

Thursday, May 13, 2021 - 6:51am

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in Grimes County. Hopefully every mother enjoyed their day.

The fundraiser for the youth of Evergreen Baptist Church held Saturday, May 1, at the Iola Fire Department was certainly a success. There were several hundred people that attended from all around the area. All the cookers did an amazing job with the fried fish, much of which was caught by local anglers. The fellowship was great, and the money raised will assist the Evergreen children with summer camp. Thanks to everyone that assisted in any way. May God bless you all.

Clay and Cullen keep their parents on their toes, for sure. A while back Clay had a wreck that wasn’t his fault, and luckily all is well. As for Cullen, he had a wreck but not with a vehicle. His accident involved a horse, rope and his knee. Hopefully, once he has his surgery, he will be better, and these two young men can continue their “extracurricular” fun and let’s pray that they stay safe! I know that I will miss these guys when they leave for college in the fall.
