Pine-Strawberry cemetery beautification project

Our little cemetery is full of history, and people who loved this community. To honor them and the loved ones still here, the community gathers twice a year to clean up the local cemetery. Work includes clearing overgrown brush and raking up pine needles and leaves. With all the rain we have had, it might need a few extra hands this year. Help Saturday, Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Pine Cemetery at the end of Cemetery Road. (the street just before Stripes at the south end of Pine).

Old County Inn Nash Halloween Bash

On Saturday, Oct. 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Old County Inn, on the corner of Highway 87 and Old County Road, will host the Nash Halloween Bash. Kids under 10 and wearing a costume will get a free mini pumpkin, candy. You can get pics with mini-horses or get a free pony ride from the bigger horses. Join the family fun.
