Bobbie later took a position at the Saint’s Roost Museum where she was able to express her passion for her community by sharing stories of its rich history with museum guests. Bobbie loved to bake and was best known for her cream pies, popcorn balls and dozens of other deserts which she could be found sharing with people all over town. She was involved in the Donley County Sr. Citizens and was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Clarendon.

Festival draws crowd
Hedley was a busy place last weekend as the 59th annual Cotton Festival provided lots of fun things to do on Friday and Saturday.
There were generally more things to do and more fun to be had than in recent years as organizers worked hard to build up the celebration.
The Lioness Club got things rolling Friday evening with a Chili & Stew
Supper at the Lioness Den, which was followed by the Hedley Owls defeating the Lubbock Home School athletes for a Homecoming victory.
Blackie Johnston won all three divisions of the tractor show; and car show winners were as follows: first – Grady Milton of White Deer with a 1930 Model A, second – Redell Johnston of Howardwick with a 1966 Mustang, third – John Redmon of Amarillo with a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited Edition, and People’s Choice – Stephanie Wilkinson with a 1967 Ford Mustang.
Boss Lion Vernon Patton said he thought the Lions Club served about 275 people during the barbecue lunch.
Kiddie Parade and Community Parade results were not available at press time.
Among the drawings held Saturday, Bonnie Lesley won the quilt from the Lioness Club, Chuck Howell won the pistol from the Senior Citizens, and
Dennis King won the wooden bench from Moffitt’s Hardware.
The Hedley School Reunion was well attended with Nancy Mullins traveling all the way from Tennessee to be there. Nell Gray represented the oldest class present (1940), and the youngest class represented was 1980.
A street dance featuring Broken Jonez was also held Saturday night.

CHS Homecoming sweeter with win
The Broncos breezed through their Homecoming game against Gruver Friday night in Bronco Stadium with a 42-6 win before a huge hometown crowd.
The dominance by the Bronco team was undeniable, and the Greyhounds were left helpless throughout. Clarendon racked up 356 total yards to only 97 yards for a struggling Gruver team. The Broncos accumulated 223 of those yards on the ground resulting in four touchdowns.
Mike Crump got things rolling for the Broncos very early in the game when he scored from one yard out to give Clarendon the advantage. Brother Chris Crump then caught two passes for touchdowns from 28 and 33 yards respectively, and Mike Crump topped off the first quarter scoring with a 14-yard run. Mike Crump scored again in the second quarter on a four-yard run, and Wes Williams ended the scoring frenzy with a big 73-yard run that resulted in six. Coby Braughton added all the bonus kicks for the Broncos.
“Once again, our line did a great job for us,” head coach Gary Jack said. “We did a lot of good things. Johnny (Gaines) threw the ball well. Bradley Watson made some good catches for us, and Mike (Crump) and Wes (Williams) ran the ball, too. Our defense did a good job and shut them out through three quarters.”
The Broncos’ controlled the game, which allowed the younger players to get playing time.
“Because of the lead we had, we were able to take our starters out in the second half and let some of the junior varsity players get in the game,” Jack said. “And that helped us to stay fairly healthy.”
The Broncos are definitely in the hunt for post-season play and are expecting to go deep in the play offs. They have already fought through several tough opponents and after an open date this week are hoping to continue their dominance on the field with their District opponents.
“We had a good non-district run and went 6-1,” Jack said. “And we’ll play Quanah in our first District game at home. It will be the most challenging game of the District, and we’re looking forward to it.”
