It's Batman, it's Superman...no it's Spiderman!
That's right, all these Superheroes were present
at the first annual "Superheroes Family Day" at
Screven County Elementary School on Thursday,
May 5, 2022, from 3-6.
Over 350 students and parents descended on the
Elementary gym for an afternoon of fun and games!
The event was hosted by the Screven County
Community Collaborative, The Screven County
Chamber of Commerce and Screven County El
ementary School.
Everywhere you turned there were games, book
walks, skeet ball, large sorry game, tic tac toe,
golfing, face painting, food, popcorn and so much
more! It felt like an end of school carnival.
“Our many thanks to the local businesses and indi
viduals who helped make this such a great success,”
Cathy Kight, Executive Director of the Screven
County Community Collaborative explained.

to help with games, fun and keeping everyone safe.
And just who was the man of steel? It wasn’t Clark
Kent this time boys and girls but our very own
principal Ryan Reddick!
“Superheroes Family Day was a huge success,”
Cathy Kite said, "I know that we are already looking
forward to next year’s event, where we will have
more vendors and more games. We would also like
to thank our superheroes for taking time out of their
busy crime fighting schedules to make this event a
success.” (photos by Sam Eades)
I was three years old
when I first remember
hearing the song "Happy
Jubilee". I grew up in a
Christian home with a
family who loved to sing.
We loved gospel music.
Every Sunday morning
I would wake up to the
sound of The Goodman
Family as they rang in
the day of worship by
singing, "Jubilee...Jubi
lee...your invited to this
happy jubilee". Along
with the happy song, I
would always smell the
scent of bacon and eggs
cooking on the stove
along with home
made biscuits of
course. It truly was,
the best of days!
The Happy Good-
mans were led by
their oldest brother
Howard (nicknamed
“Happy”) in the
early years. In 1949,
Howard met Vestal
Freeman, an aspir
ing opera singer
and sister of gospel
tenor singer Cat
Freeman. They were
soon married. By
1962, the singing
group fans most
fondly remember as
The Happy Goodmans
had formed consisting
of Howard, Vestal, Sam,
and Rusty. Their younger
brother Bobby was soon
in the band as well play
ing bass guitar.
From that point in the
early 1960s, the fame of
The Happy Goodmans
took off like a rocket. On
the final chord of a song
when everyone else was
sustaining their note,
Vestal would often hit a

dissonant note and then
resolve to her note in the
chord with a curlicue
flourish. Their style has
been described as “grab a
note and hang on.”
In 1964, the Happy
Goodman's joined the
cast of The Gospel
Singing Jubilee televi
sion program which was
syndicated in markets
across the country. The
theme song was "Happy
Jubilee" written by Rev.
Raymond Browning in
1932. Mr. Browning was
a local pastor. He died in
1953.
By 1974, The Happy
Goodmans had signed
a contract with concert
promoter JG Whitfield
guaranteeing them
$2500.00 for each event
and a minimum of 100
events for both 1974 and
1975. After the Jubilee,
they launched a televi
sion program of their
own called The Happy
Goodman Family Hour
and later had another
program called Down
Home With The Happy
Goodman Family.
