Getting yard work done today for reopening, we came across these vibrant purple Morning Glory’s, wildly growing among the underbrush and weeds by the old barn. Now how can we possibly cut these beauties down? We decided to live and let live!

NO DEADLINE, NO SIGN UP just show up and show out in your best costume on Oct 23 at 5:30 pm at the Baker County Fairgrounds! See you there!

Deadline, Schmedline!

When I mentioned extending the sign-up deadlines for the Fair Contests, our sponsors for the Costume Contest looked at each other, then at me, and dared me to drop it completely! "Bring it on," they said--"the more, the merrier!" I like the way they think!!

So, no deadline, no sign-up required to participate in the DIY Costume Contest! Just show up in your costume at 5:30 on Friday, Oct 23rd, and be ready to show off your skills!

HOWEVER!!! for those who have already signed up, or anyone who signs up by Oct 10th, we are offering FREE ADMISSION on Friday, as long as you arrive in costume by 6pm!

To be on the free admission list, simply contact us via FB Messenger, or text/email us by Saturday, October 10th. We will need your name, age category, and contact info (for minors we will need parent/guardian name and contact info).

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH! And I don’t know anyone who has made us more aware than Jeannie Blaylock, anchor at WTLV12 News. More than 30 years ago she founded Buddy Check 12, urging women to get their mammograms and do regular monthly self exams for early detection. Her work has saved countless lives, including mine and now even her own. We were honored to host a Buddy Check 12 Pink Party news segment in 2025 at the mercantile on my 10-year anniversary of being cancer-free. Thank you Lord and thank you Jeannie for caring!

UPDATE: We just got a special “like” on this post! James Taylor’s official FB page liked our post then followed our page! He may never personally see this but what a wonderful staff he must have to connect with his fans!
In the presence of a living legend with James Taylor and his All-Star Band at the St Augustine Amphitheater on Wednesday night! Thanks for making it possible, cousins Rawlings and Gail Long Scott!

Nothing is quite as frustrating to someone researching their family history and finding a box of unmarked photos! Please take the time to document. Future generations will thank you for it!
