Cherokee News - Week of September 24, 2006

     Gas prices continue to drop.  I've spotted it at $2.29 for regular unleaded at several places this past week.  Good to see those lower prices!  It is also good to see email flowing on a more regular basis.  Much of it is labeled spam which isn't but at least it is getting to my inbox.

     Saturday September 30 is Cherokee Day! The Cherokee Home for Children will be having it's big auction, which benefits the children, and usually goes on all day. They always have some really good food available for auction goers as well. Everyone come out and visit with old friends, meet some new one and chances are you'll find that one (or several) thing that you've been looking for or needing for your home or garden.

    Congratulations to John and Mary Catherine Holley on the birth of their grandson, Luke Allen Holley.  He was born September 22.  His parents are Matt and Mandy Holley.  Byars Walters had lunch in the grocery store Saturday.  He was doing really good.  Harold and Charles Johanson brought him to Cherokee for a visit.  They met Lamar and Marilyn Johanson for lunch.  Byars was so glad to see all of his friends.   David Penney had back surgery in San Angelo last Friday.  The surgery was a success.   Maybelle and Gary Ray visited with Joyce, Randy and Brandon Capps at Lampasas on Sunday the 17th of September.  They helped Brandon celebrate his birthday.
