ANNUAL PARTY….The Knott’s and Brown’s annual noon luncheon following the July 4th Nichols Hills Parade featured the world’s best food. It was fried chicken at its’ finest, traditional bread and butter sandwiches, red frozen fruit salad, a huge pan of baked beans, potato salad and homemade ice cream and chocolate cake.
Hosts were Ranell and Steve Brown, Tom Knott, Meredith, Kristen, Matt, Bella and Michah Brown, Katy and Robert McGee and Christy, Brian, Austin and Gavin Gordon.
Red, white and blue tablecloths were on all the tables and flowers were red orchids, white mums and blue irises.
The hosts always add a line about invited guests. They note “this means, children, married children, grandchildren, boy or girl friends, parents!”

THREE GENERATIONS…When Laura Wilkinson Gable and Isabel Gable, 7, Menlo Park, Calif., came to town to visit grandmother Carol Troy and husband, Mac Troy, Lela Sullivan was hostess for a luncheon.
She was assisted by her granddaughter, Langley Branan, 8. Langley planned the menu and chose her great-grandmother’s china and placemats for the table.
