Hee-Haw!
Croaker resident Ola Mae Richardson “Nannie” came down
to her granddaughter and grandson-in-law’s farm in Red
Oak Virginia for a “Hee-Haw” of a good time! She enjoyed
playing with the children, staying up late watching
fireworks on the 4th, and, of course, playing with the
animals, especially Audrey (the mule) and of course her
great-great-granddaughters Olivia, Sierra, Leah and
Ashlyn.
