Members of the Fairdale Baptist Church (they did this last year too) put on a fantastic fish fry at Legacies Nursing & Rehabilitation on Friday, December 1st.

The girls win the West Sabine FFA Chili Cook-off on Tuesday evening, November 28th at the Ag barn. Four teams competed (two girl teams and two boy teams) and the winning team was Abby Bragg, Mahala Maxey, and Malori Clark (pictured above). Lots of various ingredients were used in the chili recipes, and at one must have been pretty hot as one young man was guzzling from what was left of a gallon jug of milk! Congratulations girls!
