A huge blossom to the gentleman who woke us up to tell us our silo was on fire. You left before we could thank you properly. Without you stopping, more property could have been lost. Thank you to the Juda and Monroe Fire Departments for their dedication. - Scott and Mary Schmidt

I want to also give the fair board a blossom for this year's fair. We were always greeted with a smile anytime we needed to step in the fair office for a question. Deb was above and beyond friendly to our kids as well. It was so nice this year to have someone friendly greet you in the office. Great job and keep up the good work! - 4-H Parent

A huge bouquet of blossoms to the three lovely young ladies called "Precocious" who came to Twining Valley Retirement Community and did an awesome musical performance for our residents. A great time was had by all. We wish Natalie, Cammie, and Lauren continued success in their musical and personal endeavors. Thanks again and keep up the great work - Twining Valley residents and staff
