Fun time at the Magnolia Specialized Services Fall Festival on Halloween. The Magnolia Middle School Student Council manned all the games and activities while staff assisted with tattoos and escorting the toddlers. Looks like a good time was had by all in the Wes Weiser Gymnasium.

Sometimes I get to the community stop at Macedonia Baptist Church a few minutes early. I stretch my legs and wait for my first rider and take in the beauty of the neighborhood.

Lead article in the Sunday edition of MagnoliaReporter—so humbled and excited! Hey Wendell Franks, there was no fountain but I got some pretty good pictures! Older photos are courtesy of Mike Gee and South Arkansas Heritage Museum. And thanks to Chuck Williams for showing me around the building.
