I'm a little late with announcing our Summer Reading winners, but I am so proud of these girls and all those that participated in our Reading challenge.

Names were drawn by our County Judge and the winners are: Ophira Phipps, division 1; Aubrie Martinez, division 2; and Laurel Kitchens, division 3. Congratulations! You are awesome!

Our Pinky cat got out awhile back and now we have six little Christmas gifts all ready for a special person. These kittens are very special and smart! They read all night so they’re a bit skiddish during the day and will take a little patience and lots of love and care. They’re not barn cats and would love a good, warm and caring home! Let me know which one you want. (The gray and calico have tentative homes).
