GORDONSBURG News

The last couple of weeks the area has gotten some much needed rain, with some thundershowers with wind and rain and during the fair rain a couple of nights and some events were cancelled on Thursday and Saturday nights. Some even got more than two inches with it varying from one area to another, but all was very welcome. The temperatures are still in the sixties and low seventies at night but up above eighty during the afternoon.

I was honored to be invited to Mrs. Alice Tubbs home for a meal and fellowship on Saturday afternoon, the rain didn’t deter those who attended, and I know everyone had a great time and enjoyed the wonderful food that was served. There were several who helped with the meal, and I would not attempt to name them less I forget someone. The rain that fell even did not disturb those there for they knew we needed the rain.
