The Nocona FFA will be
sponsoring the annual FFA
Jackpot show on Oct. 27th at
the Montague County Ag
Center in Nocona.
The annual event draws
FFA and 4-H members from
north central Texas and
southern Oklahoma to
exhibit their cattle, sheep,
and goat projects. The show
historically has seen some of
the top animal projects from
Texas and Oklahoma com-
peting for the top spots in all
divisions of the show.
There will be cash prizes
to champions and reserve
champions plus junior and
senior showmanship awards.
Judging this year's show
will be two new and upcom-
ing young judges on the

the evaluation of the heifer
and steer divisions, while

homemade cornbread,
Fritos, onions, shredded

This event is the only

SAINT JO — Fall color is
promising to provide a dra-
matic backdrop to history as
your Montague County
Historical Commission
winds up plans for the third
Rolling History Tour coming
Saturday, Oct.27. Focus is
on the Saint Jo community
and the Northeast quadrant
of Montague County. We
still have seats available but
seating is limited and you
should reserve a place if you
want to take part.
Guests will register at the
Saint Jo School Cafeteria
between 8:30 and 9 a.m.,
then load onto school buses
and depart at 9:30 a.m. The
morning loop will take
explorers south to Dye
Mound for a visit at the his-
toric church, now communi-
ty center, then on to a near
bird's eye view from Jim
Ned Lookout, with stories by
local guides. These will be
"get off' stops. Returning to
Saint Jo visitors will be
introduced the reviving orig-
inal Saint Jo Square and sev-
eral interesting historical
points along Main Street
simultaneously. These will
be rolling stops, but open
businesses will be available
following the tour.
Homemade sandwiches,
soups and cookies will await
the hungry travelers in the
school cafeteria as guests
enjoy a mid- day repast.
Members of the Saint Jo
Century Club are putting
their civic pride into action
preparing the lunch.
The afternoon ride
descends a spectacular bluff
into the Red River Valley.
There are numerous points
of interest along this way,
including a scenic stop east
of Mountain Creek
Cemetery looking over to the
Devil's Backbone. The
route will take us through
Capps Corner and to Illinois
Bend for a rotating rest stop
at the Community Center
and a good look at the old
town and cemetery.
Heading westward, we
will find our way to Union
Cemetery, then roll on to
Bonita, along the "Deep
Draw" bottoms of Chisholm
Trail fame with the Duxbury
Cemetery located like a sen-
tinel over the valley.
Driving east on Hwy 82 we
will take time to look South
at the scenic Mosley
Mountains as we climb back
up the divide that separates
rainfall into the Red and the
Trinity watersheds. Head of
Elm found, our journey will
be ending and it should be
about 3:30 p.m.
Docents are lined up and
stories are being put togeth-
er. Tour booklets are being
prepared. As we did on our
two previous tours, we will
be asking a $10 donation to
defray expenses for your "all
inclusive" tour. For more
information or to make a
reservation please call Tobie
or Johnell Thompson at 995-
2184 or for information,
Janis Sneed, 995-7193.
