Beth Hohn and children drove to Jefferson City on Sunday to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Madison.
The Masolo family held their annual Jackpot Rodeo on Sunday with entries coming in from all parts of the state and though I don’t have the results, I understand there was a very big turnout both participating and just enjoying watching the affair. The Masolo family is to be commended for putting on a good family clean-cut entertainment for everyone to enjoy and we’ll all be looking forward to next year’s affair. There was an excellent potluck supper served at the end of the day with such a variety of foods one could choose from. No one needed to go away with empty stomachs.
