Masonic Youth Celebrate Kerens Cotton Harvest Festival

Rainbow Girls

The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls attended the Kerens Cotton Harvest Festival in Kerens on Saturday, Oct. 19. They sold suckers and distributed fliers and brochures about their organization. The Gun Barrel City Assembly is looking to increase their membership. In addition, to working their booth, they were able to take time out to enjoy the festivities of the day. In spite of the chilly start for the day, they really had a great time!

The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a service-oriented, leadership organization for girls between the ages of 11 and 20. Rainbow Girls participate in a wide array of activities, including leadership training, service projects, competitions, and annual retreats. Their younger group, the Pledges, have activities for girls ages 7 to 10.
