At the Knights Ferry Community Club meeting the candidates running for the School Board were introduced; Bob Brunker, Kym Cassaretto, Diane Noon, Sean McCarthy and Shavon Haskell. They told a little about themselves and had a meet and greet session. On the club agenda was the upcoming Pumpkin Roll (50th year). For entry forms for the craft booths call Gail at (209) 543-2614. The Orange Blossom 4-H will have a petting zoo on the tennis court. There will be a breakfast at the I.O.O.F. Hall and food booths for lunch. The roll of the pumpkins starts at noon on the tennis court for the 5 and under set. All others will roll on the street starting at 1:00 p.m. for genuine simulated gold trophies. Also discussed was the donation of a flag for our cemetery by U.S. Representative Jeff Denham, the presentation will be at the Pumpkin Roll. Lisa Dolling told of the closing of the Army Corp Parks and Dave Voortman told of the Salmon Festival on October 26th if the parks are open by then.
