Wright News By Jennie K. Hanson October 24, 2005

There are lots of fall activities going on as usual.  The trees have turned colors and most of them have lost their leaves already.  Fall is truly in the air.  I even had to bake some pumpkin pies to get into the fall spirit.

Please don’t forget to go to the Annual Hunter’s Supper in Cromwell at Bethany Lutheran Church on Friday, November 4th serving from 3 to 7 PM.

Then you can also go the Tamarack Presbyterian Church’s Hunter’s Supper at the Old Tamarack School on Saturday, November 5th starting at 5 PM or so. These suppers are such a tradition and they are well attended.

Then, there is the Annual Cromwell Community Craft Sale at the high school on Saturday, November 5th starting at 9 AM.  There are many, many crafters and groups selling their homemade items and foods.

The Cromwell - Wright Immaculate Conception Catholic Church is sponsoring a Turkey BINGO on Saturday, November 12, 7 - 9 PM.  Lunch will also be served.

The Annual Holiday Bazaar will be held at the Bethany Church on Hwy 210 in Cromwell on Sunday, November 13 starting at 6 PM with Browse and Buy and the auction starts at 7 PM. There will be many homemade items and foods. Supplemental funds have been applied for through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

The Volleyball Raffle winners are 1st place - Sarah Phipps, 2nd place Goose Johnson, and 3rd place was Ben Hendrickson.  The Volleyball team wants to thank everyone who bought raffle tickets and supported their team all season long.

The Spanish Club will be holding a Mega Grande Raffle starting November 5th.  So far they have received several great donations.

Picture retake day is November 1st at the school.

With a win over Fondulac in Football on the 25th, the football team will play again in the section semi-final on October 29 at home at 7 PM.  If they win that game the next play-off game will be on Friday November 4th at 7 PM. Location to be determined later.

Last week I received a letter from McJohn Publishing, LLC, P. O. Box 390043, Edina, Mn 55439-0043.  They sent me an order form for the book just published called “Daughters of the Game” by Marian Bemis Johnson and Dorothy E. McIntyre.  It was several years ago that Marian (or was it Dorothy?), was in Cromwell interviewing our earliest female basketball players.  She was doing research for this book and she interviewed several of our local ladies at that time.  I can remember that she talked to Gladys Clark, Alice Dahlman Carter, Mae White, and Eileen Grover just to name the ones I can remember. If you are interested in ordering the book, it will cost $39.13 including the tax and postage and handling, for each book. If you order more than one book, the cost goes down slightly. You can also write to the address above and ask for more information on how to get this book.  I’m sure Cromwell will be mentioned in this book and it should be of interest to many of our local residents.  I plan to write to them and order a copy for myself right away.  They also have an e-mail address: If you are interested in ordering a book, we could order together and save on the postage and handling costs.  Just let me know soon.

That’s all the news from Lake Sunsetcomesearlynow and hello to my sister-in-law Mary who had a birthday on October 24th.
