St. Patrick's DayMay good luck be your friend in everything you do And may trouble be always a stranger to you Happy St. Patrick's Day - March 17th. A ventriloquist is telling Irish jokes in a pub, when an irate Irishman stands up : "You're making' out we're all dumb and stupid. I oughtta punch you in the nose." "I'm sorry sir, I..." "Not you," says the Irishman, "I'm talking to that little fella on your knee."

Chilly FestThis year's Chilly Fest was well received by public and merchants alike. 
Chilly Fest Cont'dThe chili competition held during Chilly Fest had a great turnout. We had 15 competitors this year and pictured here is the #1 winner - Paul Coons. The story behind it is that Paul and his son, John, were competing against each other and Paul said he just wanted to receive 1 more point than his son never thinking he could actually walk away with the #1 trophy. Apparently he and and his granchildren have errected a shrine at home on the mantle! Well I think there will be a family contest next year!
