Friday, August 13, at 3:15 p.m., the restoration of the Country Schoolhouse 67 South building in Haigler was completed. All inside and outside work is done. It was 3 years ago this month that the schoolhouse was moved from the cornfield west of town to its current location on Porter Avenue. On Saturday morning, a piano was moved into the schoolhouse; and in the coming weeks, more school desks, furniture, and furnishings that have been so generously donated will be cleaned, repaired where needed, and moved into the building. Hopefully, the project will be near completion for the 3rd annual Tumbleweed Festival scheduled for Saturday, October 23. Plan now to attend and see the Country Schoolhouse 67 South Museum.
Tea at the Haigler White House Revisited was the theme of a morning tea party brunch on Saturday morning, hosted by LaNeta Carlock. Honored guests were her grand nieces visiting from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina: Hannah Reed and Lucy Walker Mulligan; and her niece, Daniela Webster from Iowa City, Iowa. Others attending were LaNeta's sisters, Myrna Mulligan and Galena Webster. Everyone enjoyed the menu of peppermint tea, sparkling strawberry kiwi water, cucumber sandwiches, butterfly chicken salad sandwiches, oatmeal cookies, fresh melons, and mints. The tea party was in memory of the Christmas Tea of 2005 when all were in attendance at what was to be the last tea party together with their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother- Opal Collicott. Pictures, memories, and stories of that tea were shared; and a short story was read by Hannah. The story was written by her grand uncle, Stan Carlock; and looked into the future years from now when the girls would be old, return to Haigler, and remember their teas at the Haigler White House.
