KOSCIUSKO —
We, at The Star-Herald, are proud of the effort set forth by the community to make this year’s Safety Parade a great event for children.
Without local businesses candy contributions and the Mayor’s Youth Council directing traffic, the event would not be possible.
This year we spied colorful cartoon board cut-outs placed around the Square for children to have their picture made and a clown in the gazebo giving away balloons. We don’t know who added these special additions but we thank you.
The Star-Herald is looking forward to the 22nd Annual Safety Parade next year and we hope you are too!

Fear of Big Red canceled fishing
I have said before that my daddy loved fishing. Not having a son to fish with for eight years, I was his fishing buddy. He had his favorite “fishing holes” and one of them belonged to Mr. John Yates. The only problem was, we had to walk about a mile from where we parked our car to get to the pond.

Summertime visiting
I was always so excited for summer break to come about because that meant that I could begin my visits to my cousin’s houses out in the country. I loved to spend several days with my aunt and uncle and three cousins in the Hebron community. I would always go during their revival time and we would go every night.
