Pig Tales from Hogtown
Thank you to all who
attended ‘Breakfast at the
DAC’ last Saturday morning!
We had a huge crowd. I hope
everyone enjoyed themselves
as much as we all did. It’s fun
to see people becoming
acquainted and others catching
up with friends. There are
some men who bicycle from
DeLeon to eat. That’s a great
idea - you can eat lots and then
work off the excess. See you
all next month.
Remember that this
Friday, Sept. 11, is our regular
dance with Johnny Johnson and
the Memory-Makers. The con-
cession stand opens at 6:00 and
the music begins at 7:00. We
were happy to see lots of new
faces last month. Didn’t the
new air conditioner add to the
comfort level? Dancing is great
exercise - come and enjoy.
And speaking of
September 11th, let’s all
remember that horrible day
eight years ago. I know we are
all so grateful that we haven’t
had a repeat occurrence. Pause
and say a prayer for all who
have kept us safe since then. If
not for these folks the things
that are happening overseas
could be happening in our own
neighborhoods. It’s something
to think about!
Coming soon is the
Hogtown Hootenanny! Mark
October 17 on your calendars.
We will have a craft show, bar-
becue, music and games.
See you in Desdemona!

DeLeon FFA Update
A great summer always
FFA members had a busy
summer this year. June 19 and
20, we took five chapter mem-
bers to the Area IV Leadership
Camp at the 4-H center in
Brownwood.
We spent two days listen-
ing to speakers and learning all
sorts of games to build up our
leadership skills. We can use
what we learned at our FFA
meetings this year.
That next week was the
Annual State FFA Convention
in Dallas. We represented
DeLeon among the 11,000 FFA
members there. We received
awards, heard speakers, went to
Six Flags, and hung out in the
hotel swimming pool.
Waggoner Spurlen received his
state level Lone Star LEA
Degree, and Matt Nowlin
received a $15,000 scholarship
from Texas FFA.
In July we participated in a
calf scramble at the Comanche
rodeo to raise money for our
chapter. We did a great job at
catching a stubborn steer, but
we didn’t catch him fast
enough to win the cash prize.
leads into an awesome year, so
be sure to check out all the great
things DeLeon LEA will do this
year.
