Good morning, I hope everyone is enjoying this cooler weather as much as I am! Hopefully, Fall is here to stay for a while. We want to remind everyone to stay safe while trick-or-treating during Halloween. We've had several local events where kids could come and trick-or-treat. I want to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make those events a success. Tonight is the big rivalry game between Fordyce and Rison. This year's rivalry game will be at Rison. We wish the Red
