Are you hungry for fried fish? Salem Lutheran Church will be hosting a fish fry with all the trimmings Friday, March 11, at the White Hall Community Center. They will serve from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Plates are $10 per plate, and you may take it to go or dine in. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the White Hall Store and from members of the church. Hope to see you there.
Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day with sunshine and warmer temperatures. It was still a bit chilly but not too much for our loyal customers to drive to White Hall for a sandwich from the VFD. We sold out and want to thank everyone for helping support the safety of our community.
She did it again, Bree made first place in her weight class at the recent powerlifting contest in Rockdale.
The WHCVFD held their monthly business meeting Monday with 23 members present. Topics of discussion were brief. We look forward to serving you again March 5, the first Saturday of the month.
I believe that many people know John Williams. He used to work with my dad at Holsum Foods where they became buddies. For those who are not originally from Navasota, Holsum Foods was located behind where Prosperity Bank currently is. I worked there for two summers and my Uncle Alfred Becker and my dad, Ervin, were my supervisors. Back then I had to be on my best behavior, there was no favoritism for blood relatives.
I remember John coming to the house to visit. After those days at Holsum, I think he had a gospel show on the local radio station and he used to deliver the Navasota Examiner to various locations in the county. You know, I sure am lucky to still have him as a friend because he calls and checks on me to be sure I am okay. Thank you, John!
