ONE YEAR AGO.......
One year ago, August 25, our quiet little community made the news. After a confidential tip, law enforcement moved in to shut down a marijuana growing operation 4 miles east of Ola. It was a successful mission as it did yield about 9,600 plants. At the time no one was arrested, however, in the past year a couple of the "gardeners" have been arrested in another area.

AUCTION DAY IN OLA!!
The auction of the estate of Bear Hampton was held Sunday afternoon. The sunny day drew a great crowd from all over. Some waited hours to bid on that one special item, some had their eyes on several, and others just came to enjoy a great day and enjoy the company of neighbors and friends. While the auction was going on, the Ola Ladies Club was serving homemade pie and lunch to earn money for church siding and the Ola Library was selling books to earn funds for the library. I trust that Bear is happy he could bring so many people together.

The Ladies Club had a good turnout for the Ice Cream Social on Sunday. A lot of people came over right after church to enjoy hot dogs, a variety of salads, delicious homemade ice cream and of course, a large selection of desserts! The donations from Sunday's gathering will be going towards new siding on the church. From the looks of the donation basket we're off to a good start. Many, many thanks to everyone for contributing! Another great day in Ola!!!

Our volunteer fire department was called out just before 7:00 last evening. As it turned out their assistance was not needed, the other departments had gotten the fire under control. According to the news, the fire that burned down a house and totaled two cars was caused by the family's burning barrel. Although burning barrels are considered alright, extreme caution should be used. With conditions as dry as they are, a simple piece of burning paper floating through the air can spark a fire. Thank you Ola Fire Department!
