It’s time once again for our Summer Reading Program.  This year’s theme is “Oh, the places you’ll go”.  Journey into far off lands, find yourself in the mountains, at the beach, or maybe even in outer space–all between the pages of a book.

Our 8th Annual Peppernut Contest was held at the store on Saturday, December 9.   I have to admit I was slightly blown away by the amount of entries this year!  Last year we had a mere 3 people turn in peppernuts, and this year we had 21 separate entries by 15 individuals.  Talk about exponential […]

Carol’s Ponderings #2
