Vaccine available at Clay County hub location
Vaccine Availablity
The following story was posted on the Clay County website this week. The Clay County Memorial Hospital has received 950 doses of Pfizer Vaccine. If you are on their list, they will begin calling you soon. CCMH has been named a regional hub for North Texas, which means there could be long lines on vaccination days.
They will give you an appointment for your vaccination. You will arrive at the east parking lot where the ambulances are stored. If there is a line and you have an appointment, you are allowed to go to the front of the line. Hospital staff will direct you to where you will complete paperwork and receive your shot. You will need to wait in the parking lot for 15 minutes to confirm there are no reactions to the vaccination.
If you do not have transportation, call (844) 603-6048.
Hospital staff will ask for your date of birth, primary physician, contact phone number, and address.
The number to call to get your name on the list is 940-538-5621 extension 131.
Links are available on the county website to print forms prior to your arrival for your vaccination to help speed the process.
It has been quite a busy few days at the Montague County Youth Fair with schedule changes, juggling of events and trying to cope with the unexpected snow storm. However, the youth fair always rolls on thanks to the dedicated volunteers, coordinators, parents and students.
Friday the rabbit how starts at 10 a.m., with heifer and steer show at 2 p.m. Ag. mech. check-in at 6 p.m. with that show at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Swine will move into the barn later today with its show at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Saturday the home economics silent auction will start at 6 p.m. and run to 9 p.m. in the show barn. Showmanship buckles will be presented at 6 p.m. in the barn followed by leadership day awards. The premium sale is at 6:30 p.m. Make plans to come out and support these hard working kids and families.

When we were going through my grandmother’s house in Nocona after it sold, I found a few neat keepsakes, but the biggest treasure I thought I had found was her biscuit cutter. I was so excited to show my mother (her daughter) and just knew she would be happy it was found and would still be used after all this time.
My mother, however, had a different thought about my precious biscuit cutter. She said, “Suzanne, you know that biscuit cutter is just an old tomato paste can that has both ends cut out.”
I was still no less delighted with my cutter. I continue to use it today. My husband has bought me vintage, new and fancier cutters, but this cutter is something I go back to time and again.
My Memaw was recruited to be a lunch lady from 1952 to 1958 at Nocona Elementary, back when lunches were cooked, not “fixed.” Lenora Brown Burnett was an excellent cook and everyone knew it. She went on to work at the Nocona Major Clinic kitchen from 1958 to 1969.
You could only use shortcuts if you knew how to do it the long way. That is how I still approach cooking. You can only use a cake mix if you know how to make a cake with lots of ingredients, time and effort.
