The Cooper Review has deadlines. All
advertising and news articles need to be in
our office no later than 5:00p.m. Monday
before each issue. Most items brought on
Tuesday will not run until the next week.
Since Fridays are slow for us, it would
help us out if your ads or news articles
could be brought in on the Friday before
each issue, if possible. It gives us extra
time to do a better job for you.
Thank You,
Zter/f Pinson and Amy Parker

Dear Delta County:
This past weekend we had a
very productive crew! We have
almost finished wrapping the
poles with the help of Frank
Moore, Allen Beeler, Lisa
Chambliss, Bobbi Wattengal,
Jane Crawford, Suzan Bettes,
Jack Chambliss, and Rachel
Darden.
The teamwork is fabulous and
we have gotten this down to a
fine art! People hauling lumber,
some cutting, some screwing the
boards up, some measuring. We
will finally learn our fractions!
(Hopefully!)
Thank you to Rick Murray’s
BBQ for the fabulous lunch. We

Dear
Well, if you missed the first
annual Tommy Irvin Music
Festival and Bass Tournament,
you really missed some great
music. Texas Tommy and all the
other great bands came out and
really entertained the crowd with
some of the best live country
music you’ve ever heard.
Tommy really worked hard to
set up the wonderful stage where
all the bands played and the
Friday night jam that went on as
well. Also a big thanks to
Thomas and Paulette Irvin for
letting Tommy set up on their
farm which was a wonderful
place for the festival. The Delta
County Sheriff’s office was
there making sure everything
went smooth, so a big thanks to
them also. The Klondike Fire
Dept, for all their efforts of great
food and all our safety. Also the
E.M.S. boys with their
ambulance that was ready and
waiting for all of us. Just so you
all know that you were noticed
