and generally had lots of fun in spite
of having to work the ticket booths.
Everybody had fun and went home Satur-
day evening feeling pretty good about
the whole weekend.
So, like a lot of folks, after working
and playing hard, it's now time to "kick
off one's shoes, and relax.” What's
a good way to really unwind and relay'?
Why, by going fishing, that's how!
And that is exactly what our Boy Scouts
are going to do this weekend. Thanks
to the kind generosity of Mr. George
Light m. Jose Bustos, Jr. has arranged
for our Boy Scouts to hold a Father/Son
fishing trip to a very special pond on the
Light Ranch ' where the fish are waiting
in line to jump onto a hook!" Well,
maybe not quite that good, but Jose says
that fishing should be very good.
Our Boy Scouts will spend Friday
evening, all day Saturday, and early
Sunday morning finding out just how
good fishermen they really are. However,
just to be on the safe side, our Scouts
have planned meal menus that don't
call for fresh fish! Wonder how many
fish stones our Scouts will be telling after
this weekend? Did you hear about the
big one that...

A spirited livestock and food

Sunday' activities included a
team roping at the rodeo arena and
carnival fun. This year's fair was
deemed a success by all who were
involved and participated in the
numerous events
The La Salle County Fair
Association thanks all who in any
way contributed to this community
effort.
Additional knowledge can help you
get better service and more for your
money when choosing services at
the post office.
That's the word from Cotulla
Postmaster Tom Ervin, who says
"Many people are unsure of what
postal option will best suit their
needs. They may not make the best
buy and in addition, if they
more it can shorten time
waiting."
The solution, the postmaster
is for customers to be aware of what
delivery services their postal dollar
can buy and the differences between
them. All fees listed are in addition
to postage:
CERTIFIED MAIL - Available
only for First-Class Mail, it provides
the sender with a receipt showing
when and where the item was
mailed. The fee is 75 cents per piece.
In addition, a record of delivery is
kept at the recipient's post office.
RETURN RECEIPT - This is the
sender's proof of delivery. It is
available on mail insured for more
than *25 and on certified, registered.
