It is time to vote! Early voting is now open at the Coldspring Election Administration Building. Both political parties of San Jacinto County will hold 'Watch Parties' on November 3 as the results start to come in.

SJC Democrats held a fund raiser in Shepherd on Friday October 16 for Valorie Barton, candidate for District 18. Held at the Family Restaurant, the occasion was also a chance to view art work exhibited by T. Wyatt and auctioned off with a percentage going to the fund raiser. The following day there was a 'No Kings Rally' in Coldspring Courthouse Square. The theme was make sure to vote! This attracted people from other areas near by who enjoyed the cooler weather!
Coldspring Senior Center had their 'Fish Friday' last week, sponsored by McMurrey Insurance Agency. Sheriff Sam Houston was there with his department team to celebrate his birthday! Everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to him and the cake and ice cream served after the fish lunch was perfect!
Meanwhile at Shepherd Senior Center, the ladies in the kitchen worked hard to provide and serve the delicious lunch and ice cream dessert on Wednesday and every other week day, but Wednesday is Bingo Day before lunch! Gregg Cones sings after the Bingo ends and I get to take photos of Renee Beshears and Roxanne Miller in the kitchen. Both centers have hard working and very good cooks. It is good to recognize them since they are hidden in the kitchens most of. the time!
