Saturday, June 1, was a busy day for Alva. Besides the 50th Nescatunga Arts Festival, there was the 15th Mud Slinger Shootout at the fairgrounds.

The thing I liked best of all Saturday was a celebration of Barbara Faulkner's 80th birthday. She sure could fool the age guessers at the circus, because they would never guess over...
