Pancake breakfast set for April 19

The Marshall County Humane Society’s next meeting will be Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at the VFW in Holly Springs. We’ll be plotting our course of action to get the Spay/Neuter Clinic reopened and taking care of last-minute details for the pancake breakfast on Saturday, April 19. It’s not necessary to be a member to attend, so if you’d like to see the Clinic reopened, now’s the time to step up and lend a hand. We need all the help we can get.

The Pancake Breakfast is $5 a plate again this year for all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage with all the trimmings. We’ll be open from 7-10 a.m. so you’ll have plenty of time to make the Pilgrimage tour, you won’t have to wash the dishes and all the money we make will feed needy critters and help finish our shelter.

It’s time to put the feeders out for the hummingbirds. If you’ve forgotten, the formula for hummer food is one part of sugar to four parts of water. Don’t get fancy with the sugar; no sugar substitute or honey. Red food coloring is not at all necessary. The sugar-water is very close to the nectar in flowers but, being sugar and water, it will ferment, especially if the feeder is in the sun, so the water should be changed at least once a week.

For information on adoptions, fostering or anything else about the Humane Society, call 662-564-2900. Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.

Donations needed to bring American Veterans Traveling Tribute to Holly Springs

The Collins-Hurdle VFW Post #5697 and the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce are collaborating to bring a monumental event to our city as we host the American Veterans Traveling Tribute on the Holly Springs courthouse square November 26 through December 1.

Our citizens will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pay tribute and respect, joining together with the common bond of experience and patriotic gratitude, as they stand before the 80 percent replica of the big black wall to touch the names of our fallen heroes of Vietnam.

While the replica is the centerpiece, our friends, neighbors and hometown heroes will be equally moved by the entire “Cost of Freedom” displays honoring those who have given their lives in service to their country post-Vietnam, as well as the stunning 911 lighted memorials, the walk of heroes, and the art exhibits.

The cost associated with presenting this incredible memorial to our community is nothing compared to the price paid by those responsible for its existence. It is our duty to honor the past, serve the present, and educate the future.

We are confident that our local business leaders and citizens will support the Collins-Hurdle VFW Post #5697 and the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce to make this historic occasion possible for the entire Mid-South and beyond.

To contribute your tax-deductible donation, call Bill or Sherri Janssen at 662-564-2829 or Amy S. Heaton, executive director, Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce, at 252-2943 or 278-8344.

We are privileged to honor, respect, and remember those who served through this poignant exhibit that ensures “we will never forget.”
