The big Creston ATV poker run is scheduled for Saturday, September 24 with signup from 9 A. M. 'til noon at the Community Building. Come and have a great time. It is a 44 mile ride on which one can see Blue Stem, turkeys, deer, squirrels, amphibians, great blue herons (when running the route one was seen with a fish in its mouth), rock formations, deep woods, oil wells and scenic fishing streams, etc. Along the route there are mud holes for those who want to test their chariots and a few places where the use of caution would be wise. There are sections where most riders have never been before. Of course there will be door prizes, food, 50/50, etc.

Folks are reminded that the big governor's special election will be held Tuesday, October 4 at a polling place near you. Also, the Wirt County school board is floating a levy which seems to be, for some reason, being kept very low key. Some understand that local levies decrease the amount of state funding received although others vehemently deny such.
The global warming hoax folks have been doing quite well at taxpayer's expense recently. A California "solar" company that was well connected (crony capitalism) took $537 million in taxpayer funds and then went, exactly as predicted by government oversight experts, bankrupt. Now the big eared one wants to have a second "stimulus" even though $10 billion of the first one must be spent by October 1. No doubt wise decisions will be made b y those who have the best interests of the nation in mind.
