The food pantry was a huge success!! We have such an amazing community ❤️
Thank you to everyone who donated non-perishable food, there are too many of you to name individually!
We were able to pass out 50 bags of non-perishable food and about 1000lbs of local vegetables from Red Buttes Farm, Intergalactic Acres and Blue Fox Farm; as well as add in eggs, butter and sausage that we were able to purchase from cash donations from Ruch Community Bible Church and a few other wonderful community members. We are so grateful for all the love and support from everyone. It's really wonderful to see neighbors helping neighbors.

Such a fantastic piece!

Such a fantastic piece!

In 1967 Applegate Grange #839 entered this exquisite sampler designed and embroidered by Evelyn Byrne William in statewide and national competitions to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grange movement. The piece won 4th place! Why were such creations called "samplers"🤔?

In April 1936, Albert Young donated land adjoining the "forest campground" (today's McKee Bridge picnic grounds). Jim Winningham headed a crew to split shakes. Upper Applegate Grange #839 started construction by July 4🎆. The all-day celebration included "a kitten ball game between a CCC nine and the farmers"🐱. Wendt's orchestra again came from Jacksonville for a dance. The hall was completed and dedicated in June 1938. Note Boaz Mountain in the background.

Whoops!!! Hello all, Allie here. I thought Robert was out of town this weekend but he's out of town NEXT weekend 🤦‍♀️
There WILL BE YOGA this Saturday the 8th at 10am. NO YOGA November 15th. So sorry for the confusion!

Floyd Rippey's proposal to build a community hall was set aside within two months in favor of a drive to form a Grange for "the Ruch, Big Applegate and Little Applegate sections." Locals met at the Uniontown schoolhouse (shown here) at 8PM on September 4, 1935, with Arthur Brown, State Grange deputy. A follow-up meeting was held eight days later at the Beaver Creek school. Things moved quickly and the first 30 charter members of Upper Applegate Grange #839 elected their officers on October 12: Master - Valoris Haskins, Lecturer - Bertha Haskins, Overseer - Fred Dorn, Secretary - Eva McKee, Treasurer - Ed Walker, Steward - Morris Byrne, Assistant Stewart - William Dorn, Gate Keeper - Guy Watkins, Chaplain - Eleanor Mayfield, Ceres - Gladys Byrne, Flora - Pearl McKee Byrne, Pomona - Mamie Watkins Winningham.
