25th Annual West Point Car Show
September 22, 2014 Leave a comment
The 25th annual West Point Car Show was as spectacular as promised. There was a record-setting crowd, walking up and down the streets, looking at cars and forming long lines at the food vendors.
There were many comments, saluting those that planned the event. One person commented on how many more cars there were than before. Those planning the event even had to turn some away as there wasn’t enough room.
The Fishheads provided entertainment in the beer garden. There were many vendors present, selling about anything imaginable. The traffic to and from West Point was more than witnessed during previous car shows. There were those that parked two miles away from Main Street, and walked to walk some more to view the spectacular cars.
Congratulations West Point on 25 years of great car shows, and putting on such a great car show this year!
A record-breaking attendance was at the 25th annual West Point Car Show yesterday. All photos credit of Denise Gilliland/Editor and Chief, Kat Country Hub.

Mrs. Beacom’s Kindergarten class at LDNE invited honored their grandparents Friday afternoon in their classroom. They planned a special program in honor of the occasion.
The event began with the grandchildren singing a song about the days of the week. They also performed another song, asking the grandparents to participate. Mrs. Beacom had asked the students to share their favorite experiences with the grandparents.

There were a variety of wonderful moments shared, such as motorcycle rides, gator rides, gardening, being outdoors and going to the Dollar Store. The students were also asked how old they thought their grandparents were. This was quite entertaining. The ages guessed ranged from 20-61.
The program concluded with refreshments and the grandparents reading stories to their grandchildren.
