There is an old German proverb that says, "When I rest, I rust." There is no rust settled with the ladies in the Tignall Homemakers Club. They have completed the beautiful state bird and flower quilt. The tickets are now available. These ladies spent all summer and part of the fall on the quilt and now they are going to be cooking up a big pot of soup to sell at the Tignall Fall Festival. Many people who attend the festival every year look forward to having soup and cornbread made by members of this club.

The North Wilkes Steering Committee met Monday night at the Tignall Lunchroom to finalize plans for the upcoming fall festival. The final meeting before the festival will be Thursday night, October 25, in the Tignall Lunchroom at 6:30 p.m. They need volunteers for setting up tables and chairs and helping out with some of the children's activities on the day of the festival.
