The first day of Shadow Renaissance Festival was  “Family and Friends Day” and vendors were still setting up during the early afternoon. Retail traders included Danna Bain and her Buffalo Girls Flea Market and Swap, Bruce Garner “The Leather Man” and Steve Plumlee’s “Cobwebs and Cubbyholes”. Performers setting up included Master Ash Cary of ‘Knightwings Birds of Prey’, a Fortune Teller, and The Great Rondini, Escape Artist. Here are some photos of the many attractions before the crowds arrived at the first-ever Renaissance Festival in Sulphur Springs, Texas, a sponsorship of Shadow Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center.

Danna and the Buffalo Gals’ triple-size camp has a gypsy flair, with old and new treasures …  from riding saddles to magic mirrors, and from quilts to cowhides, fur and leather creations.  Following the Shadow Renaissance Fair, follow Danna and the Buffalo Girls to the Flea Market and Swap in Winnsboro, Texas October 11, 12 and 13 and back in Sulphur Springs in April 2019.

The Great Rondini shared an entertaining story about his recent parachuting escape with KSST’s James Terry, before the Festival opened.

A female Barn Owl (screech owl) and an American Kestral, one of the smallest falcons in North America, are among the members of the KnightWings Birds of Prey attraction located on the Civic Center grounds. Their handler is Master Ash Cary, who is a member of a Raptor demonstration group as well as a wildlife conservation group.

Gail Hamlin, a fortune teller for over twenty years, will open a fortune telling tent for Palmistry (palm readings) and Cartomancy (reading of Tarot cards)  during the Festival. She and her husband Glenn reside at Dike, Texas

There’s something for everyone, including Jousting, for visitors at the first-ever Shadow Renaissance Festival in Sulphur Springs, Texas on July 28 and 29, 2019

Elliott Leaves Legacy of Community Service

Posted by on 1:45 pm in Featured, Headlines, Hopkins County News, News, Sulphur Springs News | Comments Off on Elliott Leaves Legacy of Community Service

Elliott Leaves Legacy of Community Service

A legacy of community service remains following the death of William S. “Billy Sam” Elliott, 75, of Sulphur Springs. Elliott passed away on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at his residence.

Elliott served as president of the Sulphur Springs Independent School District Board of Trustees and president of the Hopkins County Dairy Festival.  He is best remembered by many for his service as President and CEO of the Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce where he served for 15 years. During his years with the chamber, he led in establishing the Adult Leadership and High School Leadership Classes. Both the Adult and High School classes were formed each year and presented insight into the activity of the community. Local city and county government, poverty initiatives,  ethics, civic organizations, and a number of other subjects were the focus of the classes. Approximately 30 high school students from around the county and city gained valuable information that enabled them to become future leaders locally and in other communities where they have chosen to live. Adults gained insight that has led to a number of improvements to the local city and county.

Elliott was also involved in bringing the PJC Tech Center, now PJC-Sulphur Springs to the city.

His personal interest in each one he became acquainted with was evident in a comment on social media by a high school leadership alumnus, “I loved him! He was so so kind and did a wonderful job leading and starting our leadership class at SSHS. He always remembered your name and asked how things were. ”

A former teacher wrote, “Billy Sam was such a kind man. He might’ve been on an urgent mission, but he always had time to stop and chat. He had that special gift of making others feel important…. Billy Sam wanted and worked for the best for SS. and he never minded working behind the scenes… He was a true gentleman.”

Elliott served as a member of the Sulphur Springs Fire Department and Rescue Unit, Assistant Cub Scout Master of Pack 69, president of SSHS Wildcat Band Boosters, chairman of the Hopkins County Heritage and Museum Association, member of Hopkins County Civic Center Board, member of the ARK-LA-TEX council of Governments. In 1983 Billy Sam was honored as Hopkins County Citizen of the Year.

Elliott was a lifetime member of First United Methodist Church where as a youth he obtained the Boy Scout Rank of Life and as an adult served on the administrative board. He worked for Nordstrom Valve as a safety director for many years. He enjoyed traveling with Rickie and their sons. From San Francisco to Washington DC, from South Dakota to Big Bend National Park, from Yellowstone to the Great Smokey Mountains, the adventures he provided created a lifetime of memories, according to the family.

Born on June 4, 1943, in Sulphur Springs, the son of William S. “Bill” and Marguerite Gilbert Elliott, he married Rickie Carpenter on November 19, 1964, at Wesley Methodist Church in Greenville, TX. She survives.

In addition to his wife, he is also survived by sons, William S. “Trey” Elliott III of Paris, Richard Joel Elliott of North Lake, grandson, William S. “Will” Elliott, IV of Paris, and sisters, Sherry Elliott Baxter and husband Max of Sulphur Springs, and Annada Elliott Jones and husband James of Sulphur Springs.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral services for William S. “Billy Sam” Elliott, age 75, of Sulphur Springs, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, July 29, 2018, at West Oaks Funeral Home with Bro. Charles Moore officiating. Interment will follow at Mt. Zion Cemetery with Mike Blount, Ronnie Branscome, Mike Broyles, Bob Carpenter, Jim Gilbert, John Icenhower, Charles Snell, and Key Walker serving as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Max (Poss) Baxter and James Jones. Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., Saturday, July 28, 2018 at West Oaks Funeral Home.

With consent to search, the Hopkins County Deputy noted a purse in the passenger seat. Sims was asked if anything illegal was in the purse. She answered there was nothing illegal in it. A search of the purse produced a package of cigarettes containing a syringe and cotton swab and a small clear plastic baggie containing a crystal like substance believed to be Methamphetamine.

Sims is in Hopkins County Jail charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1, less than 1-gram.
