Hume news

Hume News from Karen Irwin

       The Hume United Methodist Church held their Annual Lord’s Acre Day Barbecue and Auction on November 3. The day was absolutely awesome with great food, lots of fun, fellowship and visiting with friends. The men once again did an outstanding job on the meat. Thank you to Geno Franklin for doing such a great job at the auction. An assortment of items such as home baked goods, homemade items, hay donated by Bogan Farms and the quilt made by Oleta Davidson and Wilma Coffman were among the many items auctioned off.  

       Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Coffman spent a total of 197 hours on the quilt. It was a beautiful quilt with the inscription on the back “The Last Quilt”. The quilt was purchased by Joann Laughlin for $1200.00. These ladies have been making quilts for many, many years. At age 91, Mrs. Davidson decided this would be the last one. Thank you for all the years you ladies have put into making the beautiful quilts for the Lord’s Acre Day Auctions.

        We will once again be having a Hume Community Choir for Christmas. If you love to sing and would like to join us, we will start practices on Monday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the music room at the Hume School. We will be giving a concert in conjunction with Santa Claus stopping by Hume for a visit to young and old alike in December.

        Paxton Wooldridge, son of Ryan and Cathie Wooldridge celebrated his third birthday with a swim party at the YMCA in Nevada followed by a hot dog dinner with all the trimmings, cake & ice cream at the Moore Few Community Room in Nevada. Those attending from Hume were; Meme and Papa Irwin, Carrie Irwin, Michala & Marissa Lantsberger, Lane Irwin, Vicki Maynard and granddaughter, Allie, Jamei Harris, Makinzie, Kennidi, Abby & Nate; plus a host of family and friends from the Nevada, Moundville areas. Paxton turned 3 on November 6. Happy Birthday, Paxton.
