June 2022

I recently had the honor of attending an amazing birthday party for a truly incredible woman, Elizabeth Eleanor Mullin Waser. She is a gracious lovely “young” and wise woman whose smile can light up an entire room, and a very large room at that. The back room of the Hardy Civic Center was full of family and friends who had come to celebrate one of the highest honors of her lifetime, reaching a milestone rarely achieved by so few. You see, Ms. Waser, or Betty as she prefers to be called, was about to celebrate her 100th year of a lifetime filled with love, family and happiness.

A new Arts and Crafts Festival will be coming to the Hardy Civic Center June 25 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The Ash Flat Library is offering a special opportunity for children in the area who like to get outside and hunt for hidden treasures, such as specially painted rocks shaped like stars. Secretly painted and hidden by some inspired library fairies who want to spread their love of reading, these magical rocks sprinkled with the spell-binding power of motivating fairy dust will bring reading treasures to your liking! If a child finds such a decorated star rock with the Ash Flat Library’s return instructions on the back, a free book of the child’s choice awaits them at the library.

What started with a local church receiving help from an organization to build a new church has lead to members of the the church now assisting the organization. When moving to a new location, the First Baptist Church of Mammoth Spring received help from the not-for-profit organization Mississippi Nailbenders in 2010, resulting in a more than decade long tradition of the church’s Mission Team traveling to assist the organization.

The Hardy History Association (HHA) met Thursday, June 2 at the Old Hardy Gym at 6:30 p.m. Vice President and Program Director Nannette Daugherty opened the meeting with recent business.
