Fish Friday at Coldspring Senior Center was sponsored by Judge Travis Kitchens, but he had to be in court at that time, so he missed the great lunch, with cake as dessert and music by DJ Ken Janik and Gregg Cones who entertained while everyone enjoyed the meal.
The Judge invited Dale Everitt and friends, including 'just married' Luke and Carson, and Center Administrator Charline Smith, who told the full house that the SJC Women's League will be holding a Bingo Night there on Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. Tickets (you must have one in advance — no tickets at the door) are on sale at the Senior Center now. Call the Senior Center to reserve a place for lunch or information about the fundraiser bingo at (936) 653-4175.

•More than 125 people came out to Coldspring Courthouse Square for a peaceful “No Kings” gathering on Saturday. There was a good response to the law enforcement presence with Sheriff Sam Houston and Chief Clint Headley of Shepherd providing it.
Some vendors had their stalls of goods there and sold produce, plants and more and background music was supplied by Gregg Cones who sang from the Gazebo.
Guest speakers were Democratic Chair Dennis Ready and Paul Thomasson, who is running for Senate, spoke to the crowd and the rally finished around 12:30 p.m. in time for lunch, when a very light shower fell.
