The Easter Bunny at Shepherd Library with Director Terri McIntyre and Yvonne Cones
Did You Know?
by Yvonne Cones
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! The Easter Bunny visited the Shepherd Library for photo opportunities this last week. Moms with children came for the occasion and the Easter Bunny handed out candy afterward.
On Saturday April 26 there will be a combined libraries event at Shepherd Library. The staff and volunteers of both libraries will have the opportunity to mix and mingle and enjoy time together. Come and see not only the library but the people who work in Coldspring Library too. Both libraries work together in the "Dolly Parton Imagination Library" program which now has 222 children in our county receiving a monthly free book. "Mix and Mingle" will be from 3 PM till 4.30 PM. Gregg Cones will entertain outside on the staging area and food and drinks will be served. Come out for the hour or so and enjoy the 'mingle'!
Women's League held their Committee meeting last week to decide on the distribution of funds to local charities and scholarships for High School graduates. The 'Style Show' was very profitable and Judy Chatham was praised for her work on the Silent Auction which was a huge success. President Mary Ann Pittman announced the new Officers and Committee Chairs, many remain the same.
Last week I showed some of the fashions from Chico's of Kingwood modeled by members. There were too many to include all of them but I wanted to show some more this week.
Master Gardeners of our county held a fund raiser on Saturday showcasing the beautiful gardens of six members in our area. We saw fruit trees, vegetable gardens, lovely flowers of all kinds and the last place was the Benestante Vineyard. Before that we were treated to delightful refreshments and a chance to sit down! Next week on Saturday. April 26 from 9 AM at Coldspring Community Center the Master Gardeners will hold a Plant Sale. This will include an Educational Expo. There will be tables of plants, shrubs and trees along with herbs and succulents and more! Go to their web site for more info at http://www.txmg.org/sjmg.
San Jacinto County Historical Commission met last week at a Special Call meeting. The discussion was very fruitful and decisions were made on spring cleaning and renovations which are needed at the Jail museum as well as some of the other buildings which form 'Old Town Coldspring'. Since the buildings are historical they must be treated carefully and according to rules. The Commission expects the work to be completed by summer so people will be able to visit.
