At last, some cooler weather! The time will 'fall back' on Sunday November 2, so remember to change the clocks. Halloween will be celebrated in many places this week. The Haunted Jail in Old Town Coldspring will be open on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday too. As well as a scary but fun visit with actors and wonderful decorations, there will be food on sale. Hot dogs, burger and pulled pork with all the fixings, soda to drink and a chance to see some of Old Town make this a great place to visit.
There will be a Trick or Treat event round the Courthouse on Friday October 31 and the SJC Senior Center will hold its Halloween Party that evening. This is an occasion to dress up in Halloween Costume! Call 936-653-4175 for more details. The Senior Center is also selling tickets for the Women's League fundraiser Bingo Night. This will be on November 14 from 6 PM till 8.30 PM. Cost is $25 for 10 games.
There will be a Trick or Treat Night in Shepherd at the park beside the Community Center on October 28.

Shepherd Library have worked hard last week with their Book Sale. The accompanying Bake Sale by Casey was excellent, I enjoyed the Blueberry and Pumpkin Muffins and ginger cookies! Now, the next big event will be Trivia Night to be held in Shepherd Community Center on November 8. Last year was a big success. Call for details 936-628-3515.
I missed the Dunkin' Booth at the Fair recently. I asked DeeDee Bailey, our County Treasurer if she had a photo of her waiting to be dunked! I will be there next time!
Christmas is not far off! Vendors for both Coldspring and Shepherd may call their Chambers of Commerce for information. The Town Lighting at the Courthouse in Coldspring will be on November 29.
