How many folks saw the Banana Mobile tooling through Crawfordville last Thursday? I did, and it was very eye-catching.
In the front seat of the very bright yellow vehicle was a gentleman wearing a pith helmet. Behind him were four more people, all seated in a queue, lined up, following the curve of the giant banana.
Spotted anywhere else driving down a state road, and I would have thought it was an escapee from the North Florida Fair. But there it was, like any other mode of transportation, with the wind blowing through the passengers hair. It looked like fun!
Last week Ed and I, as well as a large contingent of Wakulla County, attended the winter concert at Shadeville Elementary School. It was standing room only, well before the concert was scheduled to begin.
Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Spindler, music teacher extraordinaire, the third through fifth grade classes presented vocal and instrumental entertainment for our listening pleasure. Mr. Spindler is the band teacher at Riversprings Middle School, and Wakulla County is incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated and talented music teachers!
Many thanks to all of our teachers for the terrific work they do teaching and inspiring our children. Here’s hoping they have a restful and happy holiday break, returning to school full of enthusiasm for the new year!
The Crawfordville Women’s Club hosted a “fun” fundraiser this past weekend. It was designed to provide Christmas gifts for children in the county, as well as raise funds for deserving graduating seniors. Attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch and fashion show presented by Chico’s of Tallahassee.
The show was well attended, the fashions beautiful, the models sassy, and the camaraderie outstanding! Many thanks to all of the sponsors, organizers, participants and attendees for making the event so successful.
Many thanks for your prayers on behalf of Thelma Watts, Jim Lannon, Bennie Mott, Cathy Burnsed Echeveria, and all those dealing with loss and sadness during the holidays.
Please remember to pray for our country, as well as Ukraine and the Middle East. How sad the Holy Land is being rent asunder even as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace.
