turkey legs and sweet tooth funnel cakes, the Dulcimers have agreed to
perform during the day along with Payton Swift and other local talent.
Speaking of talent C&C Glamorous have agreed to do a Cowgirl/boy beauty
pageant. The pageant will be held inside the civic center
(armory) along with our 4th Annual "Quilt Show". This is the time to bring that
special quilt for those that want to show off their talent or the craft work of their ancestors. This year our
own Jo Caraway with

joined together to make this quilt show one of the best in East Texas. Please
