[Rhodes22-list] Sworn to Secrecy

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Guys,

Rites of initiation in Columbia, Tn circles is a banquet of Rooster Fries with hot cocktail sauce, I mean hot.  Who has been to Columbia?  They are also known for their Snail Darters.  

One day each year is designated as Mule Day, with a big parade, all mules, through the middle of town square.  Thought you would want to know.  It is now available on archives for Ed's use.
