ACCIDENT ON THIRD FORK ABOVE WOODWARD CAMP

An unfortunate accident turned a pleasant afternoon into one person being transported by Life Flight to an area hospital. A vehicle ran off the road on Third Fork with 5 people inside. GCEMS brought the person most seriously injured down to Ola where the helicopter was waiting. Thankfully, the injuries were not life threatening.

HARVEST DINNER

A question was asked if anyone can come to the Harvest Dinner and if there is a cost.

Everyone is welcome.  There is no cost however it is a potluck so your contribution of a salad or a dessert is appreciated.

Look forward to seeing you there!

I would like to thank everyone that helped in making Tammy and Esteban's wedding day a joyous and fun event.  Many thanks to the Ola Ladies Club for providing salads and to those members that helped serve.  Also to friends and neighbors that helped in the setting up before and the cleaning up afterwards.  Thank you all so much!

LOTS OF TRAFFIC THROUGH OLA

This weekend Ola will see more than the usual weekend traffic.  Not only is Ola welcoming the Idaho deCompression people but it also is the opening weekend of deer hunting.  Along with a lot of cars and trucks on the road, the cattle are starting to come down, so they're on the road too.  Please drive carefully and be patient.  Better to get to where you're going, than not at all.

A local resident had a visitor the other night. The bear left his/her paw print on the sliding glass door.

Come Join our Comfort Choir!  Heart ‘n Home is having a luncheon for all those who are interested in learning about this new volunteer opportunity.
