Correction to last week’s article regarding the butane blast that destroyed his cabin and left Henry Bailey severely injured. It was on May 1st, 1952 not May 1st, 1902 as I stated in last week’s article.

The Community Club is gearing up for the Pumpkin Roll on November 3rd, 2024. Sign-ups will begin at 10:45am in front of the Community Club. Boys and Girls ages 0-5 years roll on the old tennis court next to the Clubhouse with the rest of the age groups rolling after on Main Street. The shirts have been ordered and sell out rather quickly much like the Garden Club’s famous pumpkin roll desserts! Be sure to stop by the Clubhouse in the morning to get your shirt and pumpkin rolls before they sell out. Megan Peterson is seeking a few more unique vendors to sell products during the Pumpkin Roll. Contact Megan Peterson at martinellimegan@hotmail.com for more information.

Aubrey Witzke was celebrated at a reception held in Knights Ferry for her time as Grand Charity and Representative to Washington and Idaho within the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. She wore a floor length baby blue dress and the hall was decorated with lots of pictures and pretty purple balloons and purple and white floral arrangements. Aubrey was presented with a beautiful quilt with a red border and unique individual designs with touches of pink squares.

Have you driven by the Miller’s Hall building lately? It is looking amazing with the new deck! It is white with hunter green trim to match the building. The crisp paint job really looks nice.
