Hahn to Donate Painting in Memory of His Mother
One For His Mother
The live auction at this year’s Lickskillet Days was very lively indeed.
The most popular purchase of the day belonged to Corbin Hahn. He was relentless in bidding for Pat Johnson’s drawing of the Lions baseball team on the fire truck at their welcome home celebration. The drawing was used on the Lickskillet poster and t-shirts, and Corbin will be donating it to the Fayetteville school library in memory of his mother, who was a beloved school librarian.
“My mom, Melissa Hahn, grew up a Lion, as well as devoting 21 years to working at FISD,” Corbin told us. “No doubt she had her big smile on, looking down, congratulating those boys coming back home as state champions. Everyone can remember her yelling proudly in her black flip flops, ‘GO LIONS!’”
The top seller was a feast for 10 at the Wine Bar Restaurant at the Grand. Bicycles donated by Yvonne and Bob McCowen went for a large sum as well. The quilt shown in last week’s column made by the Fayetteville Quilting Bee at St Paul Lutheran Church earned $1,500 for the Fayetteville Chamber.

St. John’s Catholic Cemetery
If you go all the way back to the “new” section of St. John’s Catholic Cemetery, you’ll see the newly constructed 20’ x 30’ committal shelter. The shelter was built to shelter attendees during services, especially during inclement weather and on those hot summer days. The next phase for the shelter entails bricking the supports. If you would like to make a donation to help offset the cost of this special project, please contact the parish office at (979) 378-2277. During the month of October, the cemetery gates will be unlocked so you may take care of your loved one’s graves.
Harvest Carnival
The Fayetteville PTC will hold their Annual Harvest Carnival on Friday, Oct. 29 at the St. John’s Catholic Church Pavilion in Fayetteville from 4:30-8 p.m. Look for games, a cake walk, face painting, a raffle, photo booth and more. Kids are encouraged to wear a costume for the costume parade. You won’t want to miss out on the delicious beef stew, chili, hot dogs, Frito pie, snow cones and drinks. Raffle tickets are available from any FISD student. Come enjoy the evening and support the Fayetteville PTC.

Last Sunday, the congregation of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church celebrated “The Blessing of the Quilts,” with quilts displayed on every pew. Over 200 quilts will be donated to many lucky local charities.
