When you go to an Alger community breakfast you leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.

As you enter the building at 210 N. Main, you are greeted with a hug from 87-year-old Bea Collingsworth. You know you are in for a pleasant time.

This reporter planned to write about a breakfast held in Alger on a monthly basis for the past 10 years, come rain or shine, but ended up with an additional story---that of Bea and her job as "greeter" at the event.

The Hardin County Hootenannies met at  Faith Holbrook's farm.  President Faith opened the meeting by asking Seth Davis to say the 4-H Pledge and Miranda Holbrook to do the American Pledge.  There were 7 members present.  Our advisors asked if any members needed any last minute help trimming or clipping our animals.  A reminder that on September 4th  at 2:00pm at the fair grounds will be goat pen set up.
