 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, June 19, 2002 VOL. I Issue 6F LET THERE BE RAIN The biggest rain in several months happenned at the Ponderosa on yesterday morning. Darrel Hinkle had decided to move his cattle to another pasture on the other side of the Holabird Grade.The rain made him change his mind.Harold,convinced that the rain would be over in 15 minutes time, made him change it back.Well,it rained, and it rained, and it rained for most of the morning.It was a nice gentle and welcome rain.The rain gauge at the Ponderosa measured .18 of an inch at noon when they returned.Not exactly a flood,but it was great that there was any to begin with. KENNEDYS LEAVE IN A HURRY It was a quick trip for George and Mavis Kennedy, who left the Ponderosa on Sunday morning after just arriving Friday evening.Nobody knows what the big hurry was,but they did get a lot done while here.All of us at The Holabird Advocate hope they can stick it out for the full 3 weeks next month. Y1C PLANS MADE,PROGRAM TO BE PRESENTED Final plans and preparations have be set for Y1C.E.E."Big Spender"Hinkle wants to order 6 pails of ice cream right by itself.There is an estimate attendance of 300 people for this event.Time will tell if that number holds up,but that is what they are planning for.The relatives alone account for about half of that number. Food was brought up as some people were concerned about breakfast.Jerry Hinkle's idea of a really big kettle of oatmeal was all but ignored,but a couple of different breakfast casserole recipes were discussed.Dinner on Saturday will be catered at the Senior Center at noon.Dinner on Sunday will be Buffet at Bob's Thunderbird in Highmore after Church. During the Y1C celebration,at about 3pm there will be a short program.Harold asked if he had to give a speech and was relieved to hear he didn't,but was not happy that Jerry was going to give a speech.Also possible is a vocal selection by Tamera Peterson,which has not been confirmed at this time.Anyone who wishes to do anything for the program can contact The Holabird Advocate at captain11xxi@hotmail.com or by mail at Box 41 Holabird,S.D. 57540. THE HOLABIRD ADVOCATE LAUNCHES"OPERATION:GO POSTAL" All of us at The Holabird Advocate have noticed the look of disappointment on E.E. Hinkle's face every time the mailman comes and he doesn't get any mail at all."Not even a bill?",he asks."Not even",comes the reply.So to that end we at The Holabird Advocate ask you the reader to send E.E. Hinkle a card or a letter(no bills please). Yes, we understand that 34 cents is a lot to spend on anyone,so we have come up with a little extra incentive.The reader who writes from the farthest distance within the United States by July 22nd will get (his/her) name published in The Holabird Advocate. Readers outside the U.S. will get their country mentioned in The Holabird Advocate . So,there it is.Operation: Go Postal. So send those cards and letters to E.E. Hinkle Box 41 Holabird S.D. 57540 and keep it coming.
