Good Morning, Everyone, The Surfing Committee is pleased to announce Van Zandt as the July County of the Month. Congratulations to the county coordinators, Betty Miller and Betty Phillips! Van Zandt County has much to offer visitors and researchers. You can find out how the county came to be called the Free State of Van Zandt, read the obituary of Mrs. Belle Wilson, who passed away at the age of 107 in 1974, and learn about Chief Duwa'li Bowles. You may also wish to go to the Kids Corner and color the Ben Wheeler School! Please stop by and say howdy to our Betty's at http://www.rootsweb.com/~txvanzan/vzcpage.htm . Honorable Mention counties this month are: Angelina, Coleman, Karnes, Kerr, Lavaca, Pecos, Rusk, and Webb. A big round of applause to those CC's as well. Kind Regards, Peggy T. Surfing Committee Chair
