News Around Town - September 9, 2011

The Escalante High Priest Group is sponsoring a Free Melon Bust to which all are invited!  The event will be at the City Park Pavilion on Saturday, September 10th from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. All are invited and warmly encouraged to attend.

Skyhoopi plans another sidewalk sale that is scheduled on September 17 from 8:00 (or so) to 12:00. The sidewalk sale held earlier this season was successful and fun!  Cost to rent a spot at the sale is ten dollars. Sign-up with Marian and clear out your attics, closets, garages and sheds. Join what has been a very successful event.
As you know, we are about to recognize the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country. Wonderful community women have been trying to come up with a good idea for a volunteer project to honor this 9/11 anniversary event. As many know, Jackie Withers is suffering from a serious illness and is presently receiving treatment in Arizona. Jackie's husband, Larry, is a veteran and they are a very patriotic couple. Their grandson is presently serving in the United States Air Force and he usually does their lawn care for them. On Saturday, September 10th there will be an opportunity for volunteers to come together to do a yard clean-up for this family. The clean-up will start at 10:00 at the Wither's house (200 S. and 300 W.). Bring rakes, bags, edgers, mowers, etc. The community hopes to surprise the Withers with a cleaned up lawn and American flags to welcome them when they return from Arizona. If you have any questions call Heather (616-4070), Dana (616-1137) or Janalee (826-4925). See you on the 10th.
Remember, the Escalante Canyons Art Festival coming up on September 23rd and 24th. Speakers will be awesome this year covering subjects from art to astronomy, history, photography, books and authors. Word on the street is that the silent auction in the Old Gym will be very, very cool. More artists than ever before will attend. Music will be great and vendors, plentiful!
