A reminder of the annual gathering at Brown Marsh Presbyterian Church, today (Saturday). Everyone is invited … bring a covered dish at noontime and enjoy time with friends and neighbors. It’s a celebration that dates back many, many years. A message will be brought by John Goodman and he will be playing hymns on his dulcimer. Brown Marsh Church is located at 8561 Brown Marsh/Mercer Mill Road a short distance outside Clarkton.

Area high school football scores from Friday night:
East Bladen 48 – West Columbus 6
Whiteville 58 – Fairmont 16
St. Pauls 51 – South Columbus 27

West Bladen had an open date and the game between Red Springs and East Columbus was forfeited by the EC Gators.

Bladen County Commissioners meet Monday … usual place and time … Courthouse, 6:30 p.m.

Reminder of Special Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting hosted by Cape Fear Valley Bladen County Hospital to celebrate their Open House. … October 8th at noon on the hospital front lawn. Guest speaker … Mark Cobb and Mathew Register. Lunch provided by Southern Smoke.

And looking ahead to next Saturday, the 13th Annual Grape Festival will be held at Lu Mil Vineyard … a stompin’ good time. This year, an added feature … free fishing all day long … bring your fishing pole and enjoy.

Hopefully, the hot weather is over for 2019 … and it has been hot lately. Weather for today … Mostly cloudy with a high in the low to mid 70s, windy with gust in the 17 mph range. Cool tonight, near 62. Sunday, partly sunny, high in the low 80s … Monday high near 84 with a 20% chance of rain.

We need rain … and the forecast does not offer much hope.

Speak when you are angry and you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret.

I don’t need a search engine, My husband (wife) knows everything.

I finally figured out what I want to be when I am older … younger.
