There's a lot going on in the area this coming weekend!  The San Saba County Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the Cow Camp Cook Off on Saturday, April 21 at Mill Pond Park.  Also on the venue is live western theater, the infamous rubber duckie race,  live music, volleyball, washers,  and horseshoe pitching tournaments, door prizes, and food and fun for everyone!
The San Saba County Museum will be open to the public and the San Saba Garden Club will have their club house open to the public. (located next to the water wheel on Mill Pond Creek)
There will be a dance at the civic center on Saturday night which runs from 8pm to 1am.  For more information check out the San Saba County Chamber of Commerce website at: www.sansabachamber.com

While you're in San Saba, be sure to check out the Forward Point Gallery.  We are so fortunate to have an artist of the caliber of Richard Smith in our area.  It's also a great place to take visitors to our area.  There is a link to Forward Point Gallery on both the Cherokee, Texas and San Saba Chamber of Commerce website.

 

Wednesday night is family night at the Baptist Church.  Services start at 6:30 p.m.  The men will be frying catfish.  Bring a salad, vegetable or dessert.  Be sure and come and bring a friend!

The PTC will have a portrait fundraiser on Saturday, May 5th, from 12:00 to 5:00 pm in the school gym and again on Sunday, May 6th, from 12:00 to 2:00.  You may email Dixon or Rita to set up a time if you have conflicts; otherwise, just show up in your best portrait attire.  Pictures will be $6.00 per sheet whether it’s 1 - 8x10, 2 - 5x7, or 4 – 4x6 pictures on a sheet.  We will upload them to Walmart and Dixon will pick them up and bring them back to school.  We will have a tv hooked up to the camera so you will be able to get the “perfect” picture.  You can email us at rboulti...@cisd.centex-edu.net or dse...@cisd.centex-edu.net

Charles Perry was fishing at Choak canyon for a few days last week. 

A housewarming party was held for Nazanene and Roger Wisdom and Boys last Monday night.  They got many beautiful gifts for their new home.

Jenna and Jamie Ball recently attended the St. David's Hospital neonatal ICU reunion in Austin.  They enjoyed seeing some of the many faces that took such good care of them during their long hospital stay last year.  They especially enjoyed visiting with their primary caregivers, Dr. Frank Cho and Nurse Karen Sherer.  Also attending with the twins were big sister Jessica, Kristi Ball, Melody Ball and Nettie Jean Randolph. 

Until next week, that's the news from Cherokee, Texas!
