Gilbert Gerik Benefit Set March 20
A benefit for Gilbert Gerik is coming up on Saturday, March 20 at the SBJST Hall. Bake sale begins at 10 a.m. There will also be a gun raffle, t-shirts and caps for sale, live auction and a bucket raffle. An entry fee of $100 will get you into the barbecue cookoff—three meat categories: brisket, chicken and ribs. You can cook those jackpot beans for a $25 fee. Trophies to the winners. Dancing runs from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Proceeds go toward medical expenses. And we’re happy to announce that Gilbert is home now. Any questions, call Melinda at (979) 820-8793.
Two Celebrations
Two special celebrations recently for Ed and Frances Sula: Frances was joined by her husband, her daughter Marlene and son-in-law Tony for her birthday celebration at Schoebels on Feb. 24. And a plaque received from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church commemorated their wedding anniversary – 40 years and 25 great-grandchildren.
Spoiled Quilter Relocated
The Spoiled Quilter, owned by Kathy and Dean Mabry, was recently relocated from the spot on the square to an old, converted house built in 1886 at 405 E. Main.
