It was a wonderful night with just enough folks to have fun but yes plenty of room for many more ’sockhoppers’. Everyone who was involved in decorating, making cookies, popcorn and especially Rootbeer Floats done an excellent job. The DJ was out of this world. Definitely time well spent. See you all at the next event at Barrineau Park Community Center.
You ole Aggies look pretty “chipper”
Where you been Elvis?
Thank you William and Bonnie for you response. I sometimes (most of the time) forget that there is an events page. I guess I got used to seeing the monthly Friday night singings announced on the home page. I do not get the PNJ because we finally gave up getting it delivered without paying a so called “deposit” every time we got a different paper carrier which was often, or a new one at all. Did not get anything in the mail. I live in WH and do not get out and about in the places you listed unless there is an event attended or had business in one of those places, which is rarely. I will try to remember to check the events page. My bad. So sorry I missed this. I knew who this “Elvis” was the moment I saw his picture. LOL
We placed flyers in most local businesses in Molino as well as the Molino Community Center and the Barrineau Park Community Center as well as northescambia.com..this proves points to a bigger problem…HOW DO WE GET INFORMATION OUT TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY???.Those who came had a great time but we wish more would have come
