wedding 2

Congratulations to Mikah Smith and Brittany Beck who were married Saturday at Beck’s Chapel on County Road 1114. … I’m told this is the first wedding at the chapel in more than 10 years. The church was established in 1882.

Congratulations to the new couple!

The Gun Barrel City Assembly was recognized for being an Exemplary Vanguard Assembly, for their participation in Boxtops and Labels for Education and Take Time to Read programs, recycling old ink cartridges and cell phones, supporting the Scottish Rite Hospital as the State Charity Project, and competing in ritualistic competition. Carrie Currey was recognized for her 5-year membership in Rainbow, and Tara Trimmins and Tori Smith were recognized for their 3-year membership in Rainbow. Carrie and Tori earned their proficiency certificates. Carrie was awarded the Martha Marie and Victor C.
