Summer’s lingering in Bitterwater
We had some more Indian Summer weather last week in Bitterwater.
Temperatures reached the 90s again several days making for some
more hot, dusty days in South County. At least it was warm at the
King City High football game last Friday night. But, I am
definitely ready for some cooler weather.

The Brewen family and the Barrington family headed up to Hollister last Thursday evening for the San Benito County Fair Carcass Contest.

Congratulations to both.

The Bitterwater Lady Badgers ended their volleyball season last Saturday on a good note at a tournament in Soledad. The girls ended up third in the tournament overall.

Some of those attending the game included Jeff and Jean Schmidt, Kuulei Flores and Lynette Hurley.

Kasey Hurley will be hosting the Bitterwater Tully School Halloween party this Friday night at Tully Hall. The time has been changed from 6:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. so that kids may attend the party, then, head to town to do some trick-or-treating if they feel the need for more sugar. As always, the community is invited and encouraged to attend. Bring your favorite potluck dish to share, and dress up if you like, but be sure to stop by and join in on the fun.
