Tignall News When your children are young, you go to their baseball games, football games, camping, etc. Well, you get to do all that fun stuff again when the grandchildren come along. That's what Layton and Gloria Harris are doing now. They attended a football game at Abbeville High School in Abbeville, S.C., to see granddaughter, Laken Harris, cheer. She is one of the little cheerleaders. ƒ Donald and Peggy Ware and Stacey Ware attended Price Rogers' football game in Evans at Greenbrier School last Tuesday.

His pig helped him win third place there. He has won many prizes for his animals everywhere he goes. Another talent Greg has is his voice. He leads the choir at Mallorysville Baptist Church. Greg and James Wideman sang the special, "God and Me," on Sunday. Greg is the son of Brian and Tonya Callaway.
Carolyn Gammon carried her granddaughters, Kara and Kaci Gammon, to the pageant at the Pope Center on Saturday morning as they were contestants in the pageant. Their mom, Sandra Gammon, was at the Cub Scout campout in Lincoln County with son, Curt, and their dad, Craig Gammon, was at work. When getting the girls out of her vehicle Carolyn noticed that Kaci had purple plastic beads around her neck. They didn't really go with her outfit.She wasn't too happy when Carolyn took them off. Carolyn had to change their clothes three times -- first to have pictures made in their pageant clothes, then in their dance costume for their dance routine, and then back in their pageant clothes before going onto stage for their age category. What a whirlwind! When they got home, Kaci asked, "By the way, Mimi, who won the pageant?" ƒAttending the Cub Scout campout in Lincoln County were John and Katie Mack with son, J.T.
