Hume News

Hume news - July 23rd

The community of Hume wishes to express their sympathy to the family of Catherine Johnson of rural Hume who passed away on July 18, 2012. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

The community of Hume also wishes to express their sympathy to the family of Oscar Fillpot. Oscar was one of kind that we all have special memories and funny stories to remember him by. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families at this time during their loss.

Celebrating 70 years of the Hume Fair & Rodeo is the theme for this year’s parade. The Hume Fair Association was organized in 1942 by Jim Hawks and Tommy Teagarden who saw a need for young 4-H and FFA Members to be able to show their livestock. We don’t know who all was on the fair board with them, but they created an organization that would last with their hard work and those to come. This year we are asking anyone whose relatives were involved in the early years to please join us in the parade honoring those early pioneers of the Hume Fair Association. You may ride in the parade in the comfort of your own car. We just ask that there be a sign on the side of your vehicle with the family member whose name is to be recognized. Please contact the fair board if you need a sign.

Hume Fair T-Shirts will be on sale for the 70th Annual Hume Fair so stop by the Security Bank in Hume or you may purchase them throughout the fair. Prices will be listed at the bank for various sizes. $1.00 per shirt will be donated to relay for life. We will have sizes small, medium and large in children’s and in adults we will have small, medium, large, x-large, 2X, 3X and 4X sizes.

See you at the Hume Fair next week!

-our thanks to Karen Irwin
