Roylene Johnson is continuing to improve. Doctors found significant blockage in four arteries but the blockage was not enough to require surgery. Roylene will probably be released from the hospital in a few days.

RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

“Thanks to all the hearty souls that participated in the McHog-In events this past week-end. We had more darn fun than is allowed and proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt that chili cooks can cook just about anything.

The weather was chilly (we even had sunshine and hail at one point) but we all stayed toasty cooking in the shop. There were lots of laughs, some great food and lots of fond memories for Nick and me. The Cottondale VFD is ecstatic with the turnout and has already enlisted for next year.
