We’re hoping to find someone who will be interested in installing the Christmas lighting down at the Buncombe Creek Marina. Jack Ehmann has coveted that position now for approximately 10 years and has now retired. It takes helpers and a commitment to manage the lights, setup, and maintenance.

I want to mention the 3rd Annual Meat Market Chili Cook-Off being held October 29 at 10:00 a.m. at Cottonwood and A Street, Soldier Creek. This is a fundraiser for the Kingston Alumni Scholarship Fund. There will be an auction, music by C7 Band and prizes. Be sure to attend.
