The first grade class at Knights Ferry School went to Hughson to the Resendiz Pumpkin Farm. They learned about the water cycle and made bracelets about it. They got to plant broccoli and go through a hay tunnel and of course, picked the very best pumpkin to take home. All had a good time.

At the Knights Ferry Community Club meeting last Thursday, all enjoyed a very good dinner. The speaker was Richard Edgecomb, a 42 -year veteran in the Army National Guard. He spoke of the signature gathering going on by volunteers to get on the ballot a Veterans Memorial District for Stanislaus County. This district would enable the Veterans to collect a mil tax and support a hall where Veterans could eat, shower, relax, etc. Also on the agenda for the club was the 48th annual Pumpkin Roll on November 6th. Lee Shearer reported plans are coming along on schedule.
