Our Smith County Family and Community Education (FCE) Clubs had their annual Rally on April 26th. This year’s theme was “FCE-It’s What You Make It.”
Thanks to everyone who attended and helped prepare for this event. Sixty members and guests came out and enjoyed the day. Each club decorated their own table with their own beautiful and unique style depicting the spring and the wonderful opportunities FCE brings. The cultural arts entries were lovely. A special thanks was extended to our great sponsors: Granville Bed and Breakfast and Gifts for the Hallie Mai Clemons Award, Citizens Bank for the Colossal Cake Contest, Janice Lynch for the 100% Membership Award, Smith County Drug Center for High Attendance and High Enrollment Awards, Farm Bureau, Wilson Bank and Trust, DTC, Smith County Bank, and Sanderson Funeral Home for Rally sponsorships.
Special events included Cultural Arts, Fashion Review, and the Colossal Cake Contest. Judges for these events were Kenny Nix and Regina McCathern judging Cultural Arts and Fashion Review and Seasons Catering judging the cake contest. First and second place winners are eligible to enter the Regional Cultural Arts and Fashion Review Contest.
A candle lighting memorial ceremony was held in memory of our three deceased club members: Reba McCall, Riddleton Club; Ruby Hale, Elmwood/Chestnut Mound Club; Ruby Fisher, Carthage Club.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Seasons Catering. After the meal, the cakes entered in the cake contest were enjoyed. A $650 check was presented to Smith County Heritage Museum, from this year’s Chocolate Extravaganza fundraiser.
