THAT’S NOT SANTA—Rockdale’s favorite Santa carver, John Shoemake, strayed from his Santa carvings to make a special wooden sculpture of his friend Jerry Cass. At 79, Cass is still tie-down roping in the Texas Senior Pro Rodeo Association (TSPRA) which he has been doing his whole life, and the carving depicts Cass in his rodeo gear with rope. Shoemake has been woodworking for over 40 years. He carves a special Santa for St. John’s Methodist Church’s Lord’s Acre, which is always the most coveted prize and makes the most money in the bidding war which goes on to raise money for the church’s main fundraiser of the year.
