July 4th was on a Friday this year and having Judy Webb as our Grand Marshall made it one of the best. Judy is very well known in this little town of ours. Not only has she spent many hours raising money by selling fundraiser tickets for good causes, but she has also consistently taken care of the elderly on a regular schedule by going to their home to do whatever was needed.

Judy started the Senior Christmas Party in memory of her parents and had been organizing it for 32 years until her recent retirement. When I think of Judy, said Mayor Jeff Smith, I think of her hands. She’s always ready to serve, she’s simply the face of our town and that’s a good thing.”

Judy is someone you can’t turn down, she’s a short ball of energy, with a sweet voice and a great smile to complete the package. Every town needs a Judy like we have and we so appreciate her selfless nature.

The parade had a special energy, so many smiling faces, more entries than we have ever had and it was all around a great day. Feel free to contact KC at cooleemeenews@gmail.com or call me at (336) 250-1133.
