The float committee would especially like to thank Odie Swayney, Charlie Arch, Teresa McCoy, Lisa Frady and family, Rep. Perry Shell, Dean Hill, Mariah Mahan, Totsie Welch, Coy West, Jamie Welch, Loleta Sequoyah, and Ethan Ledford.
The booth committee would like to thank Alice Kekahbah, Alma Johns, Nora Panther, Hattie Panther, Phyllis and Perry Shell, Sarah Thompson and friend, Lisa and Lester Hardesty, Butch Hill, Clement Cucumber, Mary Ann Thompson, Yvonne Bushyhead, Tamara Thompson, and Consie Girty for all their hard work on the booth. We will be having a volunteer dinner soon to celebrate all of our wonderful volunteers.
Also, a big congratulations goes to Totsie Welch who won a gold medal at the State Senior Games in cornhole and a silver medal in Horseshoes. She will be traveling to Minnesota next summer to compete in the National Competition! Way to go Totsie! All of our seniors who participated in the State Senior games took home medals in their events including Rick and Bernice Bottchenbaugh, Maidena Wildcatt, and Jesse Welch. Way to go seniors!
