Butch makes appearance at Nelson birthday fete

LaCrosse

Jett Nelson was treated to a special seventh birthday party at the home of Darin and Raeann Fleming recently. Ten friends plus one very special guest, Butch the WSU Mascot, helped Jett celebrate with swimming, pizza, cake and a WSU football autographed by Butch.

The birthday party was donated to Dollars for Scholars by the Flemings and Ed and Deb Casey to the dinner/auction in June. It was purchased by the Jeff and Jamie Nelson to benefit the scholarship fund.

Mudbog CDs are now available for purchase. See Deb Casey at Bank of Whitman to make a purchase. All proceeds will benefit the Richard L Roberts Scholarship. The CD is a mix of the vehicles in the mudbog, balloon toss and kids mud dive.

Tickets are still available for purchase for the Baxter Black and Wylie Gustafson concert in Hooper Aug. 30 at 3 p.m. Advance tickets are $40 compared to $50 at the gate. Barbecue sandwiches will be available at 1:30. The event is sponsored by the LaCrosse Arts Council.

John and Tricia Barry, Snoqualmie, are new parents of a boy born Aug. 9. Brady Noah weighed in at eight pounds, two ounces and is their first child. Grandparents are Greg and Sharon Schlomer and Randy and Brenda Camp of LaCrosse and great-grandmothers are Joyce Camp and Dorothy Schlomer also of LaCrosse.
