Benefit for Kara and Allan Cranfill’s Son
There will be a benefit for Joshua Cranfill (son of Ag Teachers Allan and Kara Cranfill) at the Pasadena Fairgrounds on Sunday, June 25th. Allan is the Ag Teacher at Pasadena High School. His wife Kara is also an Ag Teacher, and former NASA Longhorn Project Adviser, but is currently employed with Fresh Country fundraisers. Both of the Cranfills were Ag teachers with the Clear Creek Independent School District.
The Cranfills’ 6 month old son has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and will undergo 10 months of chemotherapy. Joshua is being treated at Texas
Children's Hospital in Houston.
The benefit will include a team roping, team penning, mutton busting, BBQ plate lunch, silent and live auctions, raffle, and various children activities. Anyone wanting to volunteer or donate can call Philip Lyles at Pasadena Memorial H.S. or email him at: plyles@pasadenaisd.org.
TLBT member Laura Harding seen riding steer in Ride Texas Magazine
There's an interesting picture in the July issue (just hit newsstands this week) of "Ride Texas" magazine: www.ridetexas.com. The magazine is a motorcycle travel magazine with stories about scenic places to visit and roads to ride in Texas. This issue has a feature story about Wimberley, TX. A photo of Laura Harding riding Ol' Sarge, taken by the author during the 2004 July 4th parade in Wimberley is featured in the article. So the Hardings have a 'biker chick' and a 'biker steer' in the family!
