The annual fall yard sale was a success again this year. We have been able to deposit $900.00 into our scholarship fund. This year some new people got involved for the worthy cause. Johnny Hickson and Gary McComb helped with the transport of items from storage to the yard sale site. Larry Gatewood showed both days and was immediately put to work. Monetary donations for start up expenses were made by Teresa Hurst Edwards, Joe Cole, Debbie Mayberry Rhew, and Melinda Hampton Bauries. Items were donated by several people in Piggott. The Piggott Diner donated food for the hot dog sales and Ariel Bouquet donated pumkin balloons to attract attention to the sale. A surprise visit from Glenna and Ronnie Stephen was the highlight of Saturday afternoon! We stopped long enough to have a picture made with her. We had several items for the bake sale and were able to sell a great deal of them. Unsold items were donated to the Murphy Nursing Home. A great deal of our left over items were boxed to be sent to a charity in Kennett for needy families. We will be needing new old things to be sold at our next yard sale. We have plenty of storage in Piggott to accommodate items that are donated. Please consider letting us have the things that you don't want any more.
