Due to the past rains, Mayor Charlie’s second birthday party had to be rescheduled to last Saturday. He had a Firehouse Birthday Party which included a bouncy house, hayride, swimming, Grill Sargent hot dogs and music. Several of the WHCVFD were present; Chief and Susie, Travis and Little Red, Jason and Kimberlee, Chucky and me and of course, Charlie’s parents. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I know that Chucky enjoyed that pool (even though he was in his street clothes) and I enjoyed the people, music and maybe I should add the beer! Thank you for inviting me.

The last was the Freeman Inn built in 1856 on Navasota’s Washington Avenue shortly before the railroad reached Navasota.
