The old champions hold top honors in a game. younger players challenge the seniors in scoring. A few old-timers hosted a MacGregor Club meeting with low turnout. Hardy’s supplied a green iron chair. Town exterior upgrades include Royal Cafe and Red and White Store getting new stucco. S. R. Lamb’s home will receive finishing touches. Old Cy’s duck-hunting tale ends with him atop a barrel after bailing out the horses. The George Davis and Rivelhan houses are being torn down, opening a vacant lot. A fine concert at the Medical Mall drew Brandon-area talent and a standout eleven-year-old accordionist. The new hotel remains under construction as plans advance for a big baseball day with rides and a show.
