You won’t get any complaints from me about our weather. Although, those going through tropical storms and possible hurricanes may beg to differ. Anna Grace Patterson, daughter of Jonas and Laura Patterson was honored on Aug. 11 with a Hawaiian Luau birthday party at Veteran’s Park in Priceville to celebrate her 9th birthday on Aug. 13. They had a volcano cake, an assortment of fruit and barbeque sandwiches. They had a water gun battle and a piñata filled with candy.

Those attending were big brothers, Mack and Ben, grandparents David Patterson and Betty Patterson and James and Diana Holsomback, uncle and aunt Bo and Danielle Morrison and cousins Halli Karis and Aiden, Aunt Christie Holsom-back and cousin Parker and cousins Brennan, Rebecca and Trevor Shadden and Gabriel Terry, Stephanie and Angel Cowan, Allison and Lily Boswell, Baileigh Robbins, Kaitlin Bonner and Zoie Collins.
