A big crowd was on hand Sunday for the Creston Community Veterans Day event. The building was decorated and tasty treats were served to all that came, veterans, families, young folks, friends & neighbors. There were several excellent speakers and Charles White’s daughter read the poem her father wrote while “vacationing in the tropical paradise” of Vietnam back in the 1960s.
Lorena McKown, age 87, of Barberton passed away. She was the daughter of Herb & Ethel Maze Rader and the widow of Garrell McKown who, among other things, was a hard worker for the Creston Community Building. Burial was in the Big Bend/Knight cemetery.
Creston, like most of the nation had a record turnout and participated in the Trump landslide to save the nation & bring peace to the world. As an example, the Hamas terrorists asked for cease fire & Qatar said they were no longer going to be involved with the terror group. Early voting broke records locally as elsewhere and turnout on election day was stunning. On the state level many feel that Patrick Morrisey who is not beholden to the big Charleston law firms will bring a new day to West Virginia politics which should be an improvement for ordinary citizens – maybe not so much for the oligarchs this time…
