Mark you calendars for October 18th and join us in Cherokee for our first Super Saturday Arts and Crafts Fair. There will be plenty going on for you to come spend the day. The vendors, 25 to 30 artsians, will be set up and ready for your shopping pleasure by 10 a.m.

Arrive at 10:00 a.m. and stay as long as you like or until 4:00 p.m. Two instructional sessions will begin at 10:00 and 12:30 p.m. Class size is limited, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn how to make some unique Christmas gifts.

You can view Mrs. Poehlmann's work at www.PhyllisPCreations.etsy.com.

At noon you will have your choice of Sue’s special sandwiches and salads, or pizza and Blue Bell ice cream, a real camp fire meal, fried catfish plate, or home made tamales.

For a free vendor space, to sign up for the beading class or other information please contact Sue Broyles at 325-622-4242 or sbroyles@centex.net.

All of Doug and Cyndi Suggs evacuees have left except two cats. Tiffany’s house is unlivable so the cats had to stay in Cherokee. She still does not have electricity and it will be awhile before her house will be rebuilt.

Monica and Samuel still do not have electricity but had to go to work anyway. Sydnie and Payton went back last Saturday. They had power and went home to help with the clean up. Ali Hager went home to remove her clothes, etc. from her house so it could be gutted and rebuilt.
