Recipe of the Week: Christy’s Pineapple Cake Last Saturday’s Haywood Movement was a great
success. Thank you to everyone who came out and showed your support. The
weather was perfect and I’m already looking forward to the next one,
September 29. If you have a business, club or organization you would like to
promote, please join us. The cost is $0. That’s right. Absolutely free to set
up a table and spend a morning on the court square promoting your business
and visiting with friends. E-mail me or Marieta for more info and
to reserve your spot. Speaking of fun on the square, don’t forget
to enter the Scarecrow Contest before October 8. The contest is Saturday,
October 13 and will include some entertainment and food on the courthouse
lawn. Cash prizes (up to $100) will be awarded. There were 39 scarecrows
placed on the lawn last year and we would like to see even more this
year. Enter the scarecrow contest. The Chamber is now accepting nominations for
Man of the Year, Woman of the Year, Educator of the Year
and Business/Industry of the Year. This is a good time to recognize
those whom you believe help to make our community the best it can be. Contact
the chamber, 772-2193, for a nomination form and more information. Awards
will be presented at this year's annual Membership Banquet. Tickets to the Haywood County DU membership
banquet are still available. Call 780-7024 or 780-1536. Another very important date coming up is October 6. This is the
Saturday that WalkAmerica will take place in Haywood County. WalkAmerica is
Tennessee biggest fundraiser to benefit the March of Dimes and our walk will
once again take place at Haywood Park Community Hospital’s walking track.
Teams have been conducting fundraisers all around town and all proceeds
benefit the March of Dimes Foundation to prevent premature births. You can
join a local team, form your own or donate online by visiting the WalkAmerica website. ~ Sonia |
