HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
This past week has been busy.
Check out the wonderful creativity of the 4H children of Blaine County who expressed their patriotism though ART -- these aren't all of the works of art the children did, only ones I got photos of. There are others posted on the Blaine Co. Community Events facebook page. The smiles on the faces of these children is so inspirational and I am so happy to be able to work with the 4-H Coordinator and families.
Speaking of 4-H, the Blaine County Free Fair is coming up in late August - a booklet showing the categories should be available soon. ART is one of the categories, along with sewing, cooking, canning, growing vegetables, livestock show .... lots of categories for all ages. The dates will probably be posted in the Watonga Republican.
The BLAINE COUNTY HEALTH & HUNGER COMMUNITY GARDEN is ready for groups, families, or individuals to "adopt a plot" or volunteer to help maintain the garden space while you grow produce for your family and to share with the community. There are actually tomato plants GROWING in spite of the heat. It would be nice to see more participants and more beds filled up. For signup forms or general information, Contact Linda at the 1st United Methodist Church, 623-5122.
On Tuesday July 19, JUDY PAINTER and ROSE KIMBALL will be playing a house concert at the Chaparral Retreat at 6:30 pm. Oklahoma House Concerts are informal, intimate shows and we are lucky to have musicians stop here on their way to another gig. A donation of $5 is requested, and Andy and Linda Barrett provide lodging and meals while they are in our area (tips for the girls will be appreciated. Judy and Rose will be heading to Illinois after they play here. Check them out on youtube at

SCHOOL SUPPLY GIVE-AWAY. The First United Methodist Church and Phoenix Circle Foundation are partnering again this year to give away school supplies to elementary and middle school children. Last year we were able to serve over 100 children and there were still children who we did not receive supplies -- we gave away all that we had. We can't do it without community involvement -- anyone can help by dropping off school supplies at the First United Methodist Church, or making a donation which will allow us to purchase supplies. Phoenix Circle Foundation is able to get supplies at a substantial discount. If you have any questions, please call the church office at 580-623-5122 and leave your name and phone number.
