Thursday October 30th was a beautiful day for a "Fall Tour Trip" and that's just what some "mature" folks of Prosperity Baptist Church did. Bro. Don Rigsby, Ted and Wanda Ray, Phillip and Linda Hayes, Joe and Mainell Foutch, Henry and Veda Walker, and Joe and Velma Turner enjoyed the colors of Fall Creek Falls as well as a delicious meal served at the park's restaurant.

That same night Betty Thomas, Robbie Owen and P-pa and I were off to Miller's Grocery in Christiana where we enjoyed a meal compliments of Fortress Wealth Management. (Don't let the "wealth" fool ya!)

Although the weather was very cold and overcast, the country fried ham breakfast with the fixin's were just as good at the annual Christmas Open House hosted by Thomas and Margaret Melton. Their combined cabins are beautiful and the food is cooked on an old fashioned wood-burning cook stove.

That same morning several from here were in Nashville at Percy Warner Park's Steeplechase Course to watch our talented cross country girls' team and two of our boys compete in the TSSAA championship. Congratulations to Hannah Whited and Marshall McReynolds in their individual division and to the girls' team as a whole who also placed. (Results are in last week's column).

After 53+ years it was decided that the Auburn High School class of 1961 needed a reunion and this they did Saturday afternoon, November 1st. Fourteen graduated with only 8 left to gather in at our local Lion's Club Fish and Shrimp Fry. Two were unable to attend. They had a great time catching up.

That same afternoon a big birthday party was in progress in the Fellowship Hall of Auburn Baptist Church. Many family and friends gathered there to help Allison Francis celebrate her "Frozen" themed 5th birthday.

There was a great turnout for the annual Thanksgiving meal Wednesday prepared by our great cooks of Auburn School. Many parents and grandparents attended to eat lunch with their "student".

That night despite the weather it was another great turnout at the fish and chicken fry to support the Jr. Beta Club.
Don't forget to come to Woodbury this Saturday, the 15th for the "Day for Dan" benefit. Danny Kennedy is an amputee who has recently undergone surgery that will leave him out of work for 6 months.
