Argenta Yard Sale & Cook Out

I am making plans for the Yard Sale & Cook. The date is Oct.2- Saturday. Yard sale from 7-noon, then cook out @ our house from 1-4pm. I wanted to let everyone know about a couple of things:

Yard Sale:
1) I need to know who all will be participating so I can include you on the map.
2) If anyone wants to make up an ad for the paper that would be great
3) If anyone wants to donate Yard/Garage Sale signs for that day let me know
4) we are asking for a $5.00 donation from everyone participating to help pay for the ad
5) volunteers to help put up signs, etc

Cook-out:
1) Music provided by Jerry Colburn- thank you Jerry
2) cook out is @ 216 West 6th st,  in the backyard
3) we are asking that everyone bring burger meat or hotdogs to throw on the grill
4) asking for volunteers to help w/ set-up & clean -up

I can be contacted @: bnbragsdale@comcast.net. thanks neighbors!

We will have some beer compliments of Eric Francis but after that is gone it will be $3.00 a beer. I would suggest loose clothing and maybe a hat as you all ready now, it will be warm. Looking forward to seeing all our Booster supporters & LETS PLAY BALL!

Boosters members & Jerry Colburn

I want to personally thank everyone that came to Boosters last night, we had a great turn out & were able to hand out tickets for the ball game. Financially, some folks gave over & above what was asked. I want to thank Patrick Stair & Eric Francis for their generous support. Eric has also purchased a case of beer for us to enjoy while we picnic @ the Ball Park. Thank you both so much.
I  very special note of appreciation goes out to Jerry Colburn. Jerry made  a VERY generous donation to Boosters at a time when we really needed it. We will now be able to have an even better cook-out after the Oct 2nd Yard Sales! So if anyone see's Jerry out and  about give him a hand shake or a hug as a sign of appreciation, I have all ready hugged him! Thank you so much Jerry!!
Thank you all for making this a great neighborhood to live and play in,
Becky
