Lake Mackenzie Is Neat In Fall
Happy Menu \
Indian summer at the lake, is the
best place to be. Cool, crisp morn-
ings, and warm afternoons make
camping along with fishing a treat.
Crappie are biting, this I know
because my two grandsons and a
friend of theirs went through five
dozen minnows in one day. They fish
just like the pro’s on TV, catch a fish,
look at it then throw it back in the
lake.
The marina is open only on the
weekends now, but you can still pur-
chase bait during the week. The ma-
rina operators plan on staying open
until cold weather gets here or when
the lake traffic stops.
Water demands from the lake have
declined since we are having some
cold weather. The fall moisture has
helped water demands and the native
grasses are still green at the lake. The
present level of the lake is 82 feet.
The entire second grade class from
Tulia came to the lake Tuesday. They
toured the water plant and looked at
the fossils on display since they are
studying about dinosaurs. The
phytosaurs skull was of interest Af-
ter lunch, we took a nature hike to
look at some of the plants growing at
the lake. We had a close encounter
with a two foot diamond rattle snake.
The gate house was moved next to
the water treatment plant and will be
used for a study area or display area
with the Phytosaurs skull and other
items. The study area will open to the
public once it is completed.
Thursday, Nov. 4—Chicken taco
casserole, Spanish rice, refried beans,
and sopapillas.
Friday, Nov. 5—Pizza.
Monday, Nov. 8—Chicken fried
steak, mashed potatoes, green beans,
hot rolls, and brownies.
Tuesday, Nov. 9—Barbeque on a
bun, potato salad, baked beans, and
pineapple cake.
Wednesday, Nov. 10—Baked po-
tatoes with meat toppings of chili,
ham, or turkey, and other assorted
toppings, fresh vegetables, and cherry
cobbler.

Band, was a big success Saturday
evening at the Nazareth Community

The spook house, held in the old
school gym seems to be spookier

concession stand was always busy
serving good food. The cake walk,

jail, and other games were kept very
busy. I experienced my first time in
jail, thanks to Alvin Kleman, but got
out easy just by standing in a comer.
Next year, Alvin!
