The man who doesn’t relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and the trained nurse, a little later on. Elbert Hubbard. The Enville Community Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7. We would like to invite everyone in the community to join us. This meeting will be held outdoors, as we will be having a Flag Retirement Ceremony. If you have a flag that needs to be put to rest, bring it at this time. For more information, call Linda Phillips at 688-5470. The senior luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 8, at the United Methodist Church. The Community Club board members worked hard planning the annual Enville Fun Day event. The day began for some at the crack-of-dawn with members of the Enville Volunteer Fire Department putting on chickens and bologna to
barbecue. The parade was shortbut-sweet with Enville and Saltillo fire trucks; Henderson city officials, horses, 4-wheelers, golf carts, a bicycle, and even a tractor. Some were from Huntingdon. Thank you to all who participated. Many guys and gals had a great time in the dunking booth, as did those who wanted to dunk them. Congratulations to all who succeeded. The kids also enjoyed seeing Air-Evac; playing football; riding the mechanical bull; and getting their faces painted by April Crowell, who did a great job. Many also had a good time in the cakewalk and the auction for the homemade brooms that were donated by Eddie Hockaday. Rumor has it; these brooms will last for years and years. Young and older alike enjoyed the street dance, and those who didn’t dance got a kick out of watching the ones who did. Jeremy’s son wanted to know if he danced with Jim’s granddaughter, if that would be considered a date. Hmm, that brought back some memories. The two of them danced and danced with smiles ear to ear. It was exhilarating watching the kids have so much fun. Singers included April Johnson Collins, the Thomas-Maness Family, Dorothy Quinn (Savannah), The Randy Garrand Band, and others (for whom I apologize for not catching your names). Thank you for keeping the music flowing and sharing your talent with us, you were all wonderful. Congratulations to the winners of the raffle tickets. Nancy Weeks won
$50 and Jane Whitten won $100. Linda Phillips (Club President) would like to thank everyone who worked so hard before, during, and after this event. Along with Eddie Hockaday for the home made brooms; Air-Evac for coming out; Selmer Jaycees for the dunking booth; Double D’s Ranch for the mechanical bull; EVFD, all the singers; and Henderson Co-op for loaning the trough. We hope everyone had a great time and would like to “thank you” for your continuous support. Occasionally in life, there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. – Martin Luther King, Jr. If you have an event coming up, a birthday, anniversary, or any news, call me at 989-0212 or email envillecommunitynews@yahoo.com or wildgoosenews@aol.com.
