A Sunday Event of Knox County

For you Munday-ites that are searching for 'something to do', there are numerous opportunities in which to engage yourselves that will make you ready for bed in the waning of day! In our household, bed time, is when the sun goes down. When a person has been up and going for twelve to fourteen hours, they're ready to call it quits for the day. The coffee is brewing by 4:30 or 5:00 a.m and baths being drawn. More often than not, this is because there is something going on that day. There is group after group, organization after organization, that is seeking members that will commit to a little (or, a lot of) work.

One of several of our organizations with a purpose is the Knox County Historical Commission. This group of dedicated, committed people have been working for a number of years in the planning and building of a Knox County Museum. The building is up but the committee still has the financial burden of completing the the inside. There are numerous fund raisers that are on-going projects. This week-end, was their well-known and widely anticipated barbeque dinner. For $7.00 a plate, a person can experience the ultimate in good, Knox County, cuisine...sausage, chicken, potato salad, beans, cole slaw, and home made loaves of bread...with all the condiments to accompany. The time set for this dinner is 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. As soon as church services are over, here come the people!!

Not only is there food to be consumed. There are other fund raisers going on...such as a silent auction, cookbook and calendar sales, memorials in brick and granite to be bought, and, a quilt raffle. But, more importantly, this is one of those times when a community of people can be brought together in a spirit of unity and a hope of preserving our lives as we know them in Munday, Knox County, Texas.

The quilt that was raffled and won by the lucky winner, Pam Reed, of Munday.

People receive much enjoyment from viewing the Silent Auction items, and deciding on what they 'can't live without'. Then they spend the next 2 or 3 hours sidling by, checking to see if they've been overbid, and if so, raising their bid. It becomes a game to be played by the auction participants.





Does anyone care for a piece of pie?
