Parents Visit
Briar Patch
By LINDA HAAS
Cadette Troop 330’s monthly campout at the Briar Patch
last weekend was a great success. This was not only a “work-
ing” weekend on challenges but a parent meeting as well. On
Friday, the girls made an “International Snack” for the
Campfire program and China, Italy, Hawaii and Mexico
were represented. I am not one to try new things but the
order of the day was to eat one of everything and I was very
pleasantly surprised.
After lunch, we made a solar still for distilling clean water
from salt water using the sun as the energy source. Believe it
or not—if worked! We also started fires with the use of a
magnifying glass instead of matches and Amy Faires
became very talented at that art.
Saturday morning brought a huge amount of paper work on
badges and discussion groups as the girls start studying
social dependability and a inner study of their own per-
sonalities. The girls learned answering questions about your
likes and dislikes and your true feelings isn’t easy when you
are grown and it certainly isn’t easy when you are in the 7th
grade.
Later in the afternoon, we began a study with the use ot a
microscope and that is going to be a very nice addition to our
troop. Alisha Clark became very expert in viewing the “new
world” and her imagination began to open lots of doors. A
spider web is especially interesting as we could see the
droplets of sticky material on each strand the spider uses to
catch his prey.
The parents meeting on Saturday night was a pot luck din
ner affair and I have never seen so much good food The
parents had the opportunity to see The Briar Patch in action
and we had a chance to discuss the Colorado High Adventure
for next summer. We also discussed the Tyler State Park trip
next month and I was able to round up some more lanterns
for camp. I definitely have a super bunch of parents
Sunday was the time for striking camp and we ended the
stay with a Scout's Own ceremony. It was a very productive
weekend and filled with new experiences

The old fashion auction
should prove to be the main
attraction of the day, with a
sweepstakes drawing for a
trip to Las Vegas for two
culminating the day.
This has been a year of ac-
complishments for St. Ann.
The largest was the dedica-
tion of our fine new facility
on July 26, 1980. The church
has grown from 48 families
in 1971 that began meeting in
the First United Methodist
Church to over 135 families
by 1973. Presently over 400
families are members of St.
Ann. Proceeds from our Fall
Festival will be applied to
the balance on our beautiful
new facility.
Susan and Jim Vander-
sand of Burleson are the
chaircouple in charge of the
entire Fall Festival. This is
the second year they have
tackled the job. The auction,
chaired by Andy Fontenot of
Crowley has been the
highlight of the festival. Lots
of fun and excitement is ex-
perienced by all, even those
who turn out just to watch.
In the past there have been
many strange and unique ar-
ticles auctioned, as well as a
variety of practical items.
Some of the items of past
auctions include a goat, calf,
hunting dogs, lake lot,
automobiles, van, dinner
rings, portable swimming
pools, silver tea service, a
beard, motorcycle, type-
writer, furniture, carpen-
ter’s saw, sewing machine,
baby items, and stereo.
The church welcomes
donations from local mer-
chants and will gladly
advertise your business at
the festival. This is a perfect
opportunity for merchants to
“write-off” slow moving
items or donate gift cer-
tificate or discount coupons.
Merchants with donations
may contact the church
secretary Monday through
Friday in the a.m.
This year’s craft shop,
chaired by Pat Brown, will
feature a Christmas section
for those who are thinking
ahead. Other good items for
children’s Christmas gifts
may be found among all the
handmade toys and dolls
crafted by Sandy Milote.
Sandy’s speciality is her
Raggedy Ann and Andy.
Marjorie Hurley of Burleson
will be there with her green
thumb and all the plants she
and others have grown. The
cake walk will feature crea-
tions from the hands of
Monica Neal, chairperson of
that booth.
If these things do not in-
terest you, maybe a
sweepstakes with a first
prize of a trip for two to Las
Vegas wijL For the more
practical, second prize is a
side of beef, third prize a hin-
dquarter, fourth prize a
frontquarter of beef, and
fifth prize is ladies’ ruby din-
ner ring.
Chairperson managing the
sweepstakes is Sandina
Bowden.
