SULPHUR SPRINGS — Almost two dozen area law enforcement officers, Sheriff Keith Ferguson and supportive personnel were present at a luncheon Friday, February 5, at the Sulphur Springs schoolhouse dining room.

Prepared by ladies of the community, the luncheon was held to show appreciation for the support and cooperation to Sulphur Springs and to give those attending a tour of the newly completed police department quarters in the former schoolhouse.

Pictured are several of those who attended as they filled their plates with lasagna, salad and Texas toast before they enjoyed a variety of desserts prepared by the ladies.
