he Edinburgh Delta Sigma Chapter of Tri Kappa donned masks and met to initiate three new members Aug. 3 at Edinburgh United TMethodist Church. The new members are Sherri Sweet, Lili Ervin and Lanette Hobbs. Ceremony flowers were donated by Home Again Flowers and Gifts. The members also voted to hold the annual queen contest despite the cancellation of the Fall Festival. The 64th annual Tri Kappa Fall Festival “Quarantine” Queen candi- dates will have the opportunity to set up fundraising booths at Thursday’s farmers market throughout September as well as participate in another possible event during the first week of October. This gives candidates an entire month of structured fundraising in addition to any fundraising events they wish to have on their own. The Fall Festival Queen contest is a long-standing tradition in Edinburgh. Funds raised are given back to the community with dona- tions for school-related activities, art and music programs, Special Olympics, dental and eye care for local children, Clothe-a-Child, Ronald McDonald House, 4-H, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and other charities. Eligible candidates are between the ages of 13 and 18 and a resident of Edinburgh. These fundraising efforts are a great example of community service, which are especially important on scholarship and college appli- cations.
