Rain and cool weather greeted people attending Hedley’s 60th annual Cotton Festival last Friday and Saturday, but the welcome weather did not dampen any spirits.

The Lioness Club got things rolling Friday evening with a Chili & Stew Supper at the Lioness Den, and Lioness Susie Shields reported having a good attendance.

Saturday’s events were cold and damp, but there were still several activities to enjoy, including several games for kids, pony rides, the Lions Club barbecue, and bingo games.

No winners were announced for the kids parade and regular parade.  Harold and Mary Ruth White served as parade marshals for the big parade.

Winners of raffles at the festival included Jack Moreman for the Lioness Quilt, Courtney Newhouse for the bale of cotton, Billy David Ballew for the Cow Patty bingo, and Frannie Nuttall for the Two-Person Hunting Package.

The ex-students reunion was qualified as a success, and the dance Saturday evening was attended by 100 people, Mayor Dusty Wilkinson reported.

“We probably had half as many people [at the festival] as we did last year, but it wasn’t bad for the weather we had,” Wilkinson said.

The Clarendon College Golf team has been ranked #2 in the nation by Golfstat in head-to-head standings for NJCAA men’s teams.

“I am extremely proud of the #2 ranking. I feel we have a strong team and have only competed in one tournament to date,” John Green, CC Athletic Director and Golf coach said.

The team is leaving for the NJCAA National Golf Preview at Swan Lake Golf Resort in Plymouth, Indiana, tomorrow.  This preview puts the Top 20 teams in the nation against each other in fall competition.

“I felt we were “Top 20” material, but did not expect to be so highly ranked this early,” Green said.

The National Preview Team includes Steve Evans, Louis Laviscount, Chris Fletcher, Jake Bond and Alex Palomeque.

“These are not only outstanding athletes, but they have tremendous character,” Green said.

“This team has great potential, and I look forward to the coming year.”

That’s nuts!
