Tomorrow night, Friday 7:30 p.m. at Clarksville, the Tigers play Tom Bean Tomcats for Homecoming. Clarksville is 1-1 and Tom Bean is 0-2. Hope to see some of you guys there. Tigers have a new head coach this year, Phillip Eddins. He had been a assistant coach, not sure how long. Two of Clarksville assistant coaches are Dillard (played with the Giants) and Lonta (sp) Hobbs, 4 year running back for TCU. I think the Tigers have some very good player that can light it up, I hope someone turns on the switch Friday night. Prairiland got beat Friday night by Pottsboro 42-0. Too bad because Prairiland had their first game on their new artificial turf. Not much of that in this corner of the state. I see in the Times that Dr Muthappa's son, Deepak, got married back on Dec 24, 2006 in Bangalore, India to Pooja. She has a degree in Economics and Deepak is a graduate of Princeton Univ and is currently attending Medical School at University of Mysore (India?). The couple will be honored with a reception at the Italian Bistro, on the square in Clarksville, on Wed, Sept 19, 2007 with a come & go (no gifts). I remember well Dr Muthappa sewing up my son's hand when we were in Avery in the 70s. Good man. My son as playing pee wee baseball but he tore his hand up swing on a guide line to a light pole. The Fall Bazaar is scheduled for Oct 6. (Red River County Historical Society) The Red River County Fair is Sept. 19-22. As it is said, "It is still the only free fair in the state". The Fair parade is set for Wednesday at 5 p.m. Sept 19 beginning at the Rodeo Arena beside the Fair grounds. Exhibit Building Check-in is Sept 18 (Tue) from 1 to 6 p.m. Horticulture check in (cut flowers maybe brought in Wednesday from 8 to 9 a.m. The Times list some good entertainers that will perform during the fair. I have probably hundred of pictures of the back roads of RR Co, I keep thinking that one year I will fix up some kind of display of them on a wall size county map at the exhibition building. Placing each picture at it proper location on the map. Maybe next year. Since I do not live in Red River County (15 miles out), I could not be an official entry for a ribbon, but that would be ok. Have a good week-en. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. does anyone know of any other county fair in Texas that does not charge admission. Maybe there is one or two others.
