Teachers give Hooper high marks for his efforts to meet their needs. We are here to take care of other children and it feels so good that he has made a way to take care of ours. I love it. Hooper said his goal is to one day expand the service to all employees who work in the county courthouse as well. Qualifying is ahead for city council seats up for grabs in the November 2 election.
Registration forms are available at the chamber office.
New spectator events and contests have also been added to this year's festival line-up, including a twist contest and a Hula Hoop contest. Luminarias can be purchased at the cancer society booth during the festival or in advance from any Banks County chapter member. All luminarias will be lighted and placed in the park Saturday evening during the festival in honor of all cancer victims and survivors, planners say. In addition to the luminaria service, cancer survivors and their families will walk in the festival parade. Walkers are asked to be at Banks County High School at 9 a.m. Sept. 11.
