October 12th Edition Highlights

This weekend, plenty of family-friendly activities are planned around the Hunt County area. Let's take a look at a few that are featured in this week's paper.

On the front page, there are two events slated for Saturday: the Benefit Motor Show in Caddo Mills, and a Health Fair at the Community Seeds campus in Lone Oak. The Motor Show will feature over 20 classes of cars, trucks, tractors and motorcycles, crafts booths, a Kids' Korner, refreshments and new cars and trailers displayed by local dealers. The public is invited, and there is no charge for attendance. The Health Fair, presented by Community Seeds and Wound Care at Memorial, will feature door prizes, hot dogs and drinks, free kids' haircuts, veterinary services for pets, flu shots, on-site screenings, and blood donations will be accepted. For more information on either of these events, check out the front page of this week's paper!

This is also the second week of our Halloween Safety Coloring Contest, this week, for kids ages 6-8. Turn your entries in by October 21 at 9am for a chance to receive several great prizes!

Don't forget about DrugFree Greenville's Red Ribbon activities for this week - several events are taking place for students, but, for something the whole family can enjoy together, this Sunday is Red Ribbon Sunday at Greenville churches. Scripture-based teachings on the evils of drug use are sure to be aplenty, but make sure your church of choice is participating, just in case. 

If you're willing to travel a little farther east this weekend, the 4th Annual Help-A-Child event at the Bartley Auction Complex in Sulphur Springs (4163 Hwy 19 South) will be held this Saturday. There will be a chili cook-off, tractor pulls, a live band, bounce houses for the kids, and, of course, an auction, all to benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, the Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center and the Southern Christian Home for Children. For more information, see the ad on page 11 of this week's paper.

For more information on other local events, like garage sales (yes, everyone is still having one), be sure to check out this week's paper, coming to homes, racks and our website tomorrow!
