"Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun."
~ Randy Pausch
| | One of the highlights of Hollis Old Home Days was certainly the newly offered Chicken Pageant. Charity Bell, the MC for the event, used every moment to bring out the comic seriousness of the competition, which really made everyone winners. Stories were run by several state newspapers — a wonderful way to share the pleasures and community feel of living in a small town. | | |
