Women's League had a splendid lunch and I chose my words wisely here. Mary Gray served a wonderful meal finishing with Banana Pudding. The guest speaker was Suzanne York who spoke about the resources and inspiration we need to live a happier and healthier life. Her talk was entitled ' Winning the 4th Quarter'.
Shepherd Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the Christmas event and Parade on December 6. There is a change in the location which will be in the park next to Shepherd Library and City Hall. Santa will be in the Gazebo for photos with the family. Vendors will have a choice of on the grass or on the sidewalk in front ofthe Library. The Parade will be as usual at 6 PM lining up along the road by the park. Call the Chamber or text for more information. This location is central to the town and vendors will not have to close up before the Parade. They can stay longer and we will have music and singing throughout the day.
The Tractor Supply building is moving along fast! Soon we will be able to shop there. The business is facing the frontage road on Hwy 59 S.
