Thornton Senior News

We had a good turn out for lunch Thursday, June 30, even though it was sandwiches. We had plenty of extras for the day. Donated eggs and tomatoes by Candise Neal who believes in sharing whole heartedly. Lettuce by Ann Brown, Janice Bilbrey brought watermelon, Lorene Stembridge brought two dozen cupcakes and I brought sliced tomatoes, cantaloupes and Israel melons from my garden. We do appreciate all the donations.

CORRECTION

CORRECTION: In the article “Luncheon of the Thornton Seniors,” (6-23-22), the dining charge per person was incorrect. Pricing for seniors is $3 and $4 for non-seniors. The Groesbeck Journal regrets the error.

July 4 in Kosse

About 1,000 people showed up to watch the Fireworks Show put on by the City of Kosse and the Kosse Volunteer Fire Department at the city park. Though parking reached capacity, many people parked in downtown streets and enjoyed the festive display from the comfort of their vehicles. As some neighboring counties like McLennan and Freestone canceled fireworks shows in light of the dry, hot weather, Kosse welcomed more visitors than usual. The show began at dark and lasted about 30 minutes, lighting up the sky over the pond, but resulting in no catch or spread of fire during or after the show. Alexandra Cannon photos/Groesbeck Journal
