June 13th Highlights

In this week's edition of the Shopper, check out our front page story first for the schedule for this week's Hunt County Fair. For a less, uh, condensed version, check out page 7 of this week's Shopper. There are only three days left as of today, and the Fair offers something for the entire family. Featured this week will be performances by artists Jonathan Jeter, LuAnn Petty, Matt Koger and Ray Wylie Hubbard, as well as food, fun, rides, and, of course, lots of cows. Page 4 also features an ad for Pippin's Propane Gas, offering special prices on propane, and advertising their fair booth, where fairgoers can register to win a grill, free propane, a fish fryer and other exciting items!

Looking for more kid-friendly summer fun? Check out page 11 for a listing of Vacation Bible Schools at local churches. Sign your brood up for one of all of them - just don't miss out on this opportunity for your children to have fun, garner Biblical knowledge and eat a free snack, while you run errands, have brunch with a friend, or, better yet, take a nap!

We know it's hot, but, still, enjoy the summer, Hunt County! It only comes once a year... for about 6 months...
