Under the direction of Jillian Ventura during the 2008 marching season their efforts don't go unnoticed, and their loyal fans will see them show a great deal of improvement during the year, and be ready for competition next season. Go Cougars The delicious chicken barbecue was enjoyed both days this year; hqwever the vendors were a bit disappointed and packed up early rather than brave the storm. The Edwards Lions Club is determined to host a bigger and better festival in 2009. They are inviting new members with new ideas that can volunteer- time to fill vacancies of long time members who have been forced to move over to the inactive- list due to health problems and of course the fact that some have been forced to leave the area in order to live closer to their jobs that in turn will help cut consumption of the \liquid gold\ that a couple of years ago was known as gasoline. Contact Ken or Donna Whit ford at 562-8377 to learn more about joining the club. \Black Caps\ on a summer day Wild blackberries abound this time of year and if you know where to look, a quart or two of these thumbnail size treats are yours for the taking.
