Everyone had a great time Saturday at the Fisher Pumpkin Farm. Dorothy Fisher told me the pumpkin cooking contest was a great success and enjoyed by all. Jo Anne went by and made pictures so I am sure there will be other news coming soon on this event. Five days a week, children from many schools go by the pumpkin farm, see the animals, get a chance to ask questions about them, go on a hayride through the pasture to see more animals, and get to pick out a pumpkin to take home with them. It is a trip they will always remember and is very educational. More ...

If you don’t think the world is designed against fat people — then trying being one for a little while.
