Ok, so funny story and to clear up the confusion (I know I felt like I was living in the Twight Zone haha). I did last week’s article and was exhausted. I wound up sending the WRONG article in, so yes you had the same information two weeks in a row. I do apologize, but it happens. So, if some information seems a bit off, you know why.
Fall weather has finally arrived! Well, kind of anyway. I am so glad that the weather is starting to cool off some and feel like Fair Weather. I love the summertime, but July/August is TOO hot for me! I can’t believe the Washington Parish Free Fair is already next week! We are so excited to get back to Mile Branch, visit with friends and family, the entertainment both on Big Stage and Down By the Branch, the food, Midway, Rodeo, etc. I hope that the weather stays cool, so we do not melt.
Enon Baptist Church had Game Night on Saturday evening. It was a fun filled event for the families and the Youth were able to play Underground Church afterwards. I know a great time was had by all. The Youth also had a great time on their Scavenger Hunt Sunday night. I will have to list the winners next week. There will be a Prayer Walk at the Fairgrounds Thursday October 10th at 6 pm.
The Washington Parish Free Fair is October 16th through 20th. Wednesday if you are riding in the Fair Parade, please contact Mrs. Alice. There will be no church activities that night.
