With Election Day just around the corner (next Tuesday, November 8, to be exact), I was reminded of another election night many, many years ago. Don’t worry, this is in no way political (although if you know me, you know I am a political creature).

It continues to be busy around Have a Heart Pet Shelter. Along with several adoptions, both locally and out-of-state, we had a great time visiting with folks at our Turkey Trot booth and soon we will be gearing up for our Annual Soup and Chili Supper (with a cake and pie auction) planned for November 19.

Hello everyone, I hope this week finds you all in good health and happy spirits. We went to ColorRama this past weekend and had a great time. It was a pleasure meeting so many new people, and I appreciate all the advice for the paper, and I hope to help make this happen.

Marion County Farm Family County winners for the 75th annual Arkansas Farm Family of the Year Program have been selected. The County winners will be visited by a set of judges to determine eight district winners.

I think most people have a favorite holiday. Based on a very unscientific poll (meaning it’s my best guess), I would venture to say Christmas comes in first on the list of favorite holidays. My Mom loved pretty much every holiday but, as the first graders she taught in the later years of her career will attest, Saint Patrick’s Day had to have been right at the top of her list. For me, it has always been Halloween, so this time of year makes me smile.
