Indian Summer Days Featured Dutch Oven Cookoff and Much More
October 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment
indian-summer-days-voices
The weather lived up to the name, as it was pleasantly cool as Indian Summer Days got underway at Heritage Park Saturday morning. Dutch oven cooks lined up all along the park’s road competing for the $300 top cash prize in the John Chester Dutch Oven Cookoff. A new attraction to the park is a train on wheels that gave people rides around the park. Native American dancers in colorful costumes performed, as did several bands and an Elvis impersonator. There were antique cars along with the old city fire truck and the surrey with fringe on top. Children dug for artifacts and threw a hatchet. You could also taste freshly churned butter or make you own candle. It was fun to visit the past in the park for about six hours on Saturday.

Wildcats and Tigers Expected to be in a Dogfight Friday Night
October 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Texas High had a bye last weekend after getting throttled by Longview 41-7. Wildcats Coach Greg Owens thinks they probably wished they could have played somebody to try and forget the Longview game. Owens says the game between the Wildcats and Tigers Friday in Texarkana will be a dogfight. The Tigers have a great wide receiver, Cobi Hamilton. Their quarterback and running back return and they play behind a huge offensive line. The Tigers defense is a bend but don’t break unit. The loser Friday night will get stuck with their second district loss and neither team wants that.
