One of the duties of the Hyde County 4-H royalty is to preside over the Hyde County 4-H Banquet at the auditorium in Highmore. Brittany Hinkle was selected as this year's queen because she was the awesomest candidate. Of course as you can see the tiara fits, so she's wearing it! Brit also talked about her trip to Washington DC earlier this year. The warmer weather would indicate why she is also wearing a short sleeve shirt and jeans, but some of us here at the Holabird Advocate are wondering why she isn't wearing an evening gown. The again we rejoice that she's not wearing a tank top and booty shorts like the big city girls, so a big thumbs up from us!

     Sunday, November 18, the First United Methodist Church of Mitchell, and Mitchell Fusion, will have a commitment service where members and "regulars" can commit to make a pledge for 2013. Now, when out Publisher first heard the words "Commitment Sunday", being a confirmed bachelor and all, was a little nervous, but when he figured out that it was just a chance to invest in the Church and not a trap for some desperate female to get her hands on his money, he warmed up to the idea. Readers who live outside of Mitchell, and do not wish to contribute to FUMC or Fusion could sure commit their financial support to an institution of worth in their own area, and all of us here at the Holabird Advocate are quite sure any financial support will be welcomed.

As hard as it is to believe the next post will be our 1500th post. To mark this occasion I will be bringing back the  "10 question with..." segment with myself in the hot seat. so submit a question by e-mail or on Facebook, and I'll try to answer it. the earlier you ask, the sooner it gets published!
