requesting the annexation are not in a part of the Caney Fork Road area that is even contiguous to the present city limits—and Lovvorn says those owners who are contiguous have indicated no willingness to be annexed. And City Attorney Larry Cantrell says that places a much higher hurdle in the way of the plans. “The only way that you can annex property is either by petition or by forced annexation, and you can’t force annex outside your growth boundaries. State law just doesn’t allow for that. If it’s contiguous and they petition—you can’t force annex it—but if it’s contiguous and the people that own the property are contiguous to the city limits, then if they petition, there is a process for annexing then. But if it’s outside the growth boundary you can’t do it,” Cantrell said. City Commissioner Eddie Arney said he would “like to have Fairview Crye Leike participated in the 23rd Annual Naturefest on September 8 at Bowie a little more time to chew on this” while Commissioner Wayne Nature Park in Fairview.

THE FAIR— we’re going to the FAIR! I’m so excited! This is a nice surprise! I can see the bright carnival lights as we park our car. Yellow and green lights swirl as the Ferris wheel moves round and round. I love to ride the Ferris wheel! Once, Holly and I were stopped at the very top. If you move very much, it rocks the seat and frightens me, so I try to sit real still. You can see the whole midway from up there. The sights and being so high above the carnival, just takes your breath away! Rows and rows of cars are already here. We walk the short distance to the entrance gates. Holly grabs my hand as Mommy says for us all to stay together. There is a big crowd of people. I wish I was taller. I still feel sort of lost, when I can’t see anything because of all the tall people. I can smell the most wonderful smells. Daddy says I smell the grilled onions that they put on the polish sausage at the concession stand. Oh boy—I see cotton candy! Good night and God Bless!
