4th Of July Bike Parade

The beginning of the parade

at my end of Harper Street

Well believe it or not 4Th Of July is sneaking up on us. And along with the fireworks and backyard cookouts comes the annual Harper Street Bike Parade. I can't remember exactly what the count is but I know this is at least our fourth. I encourage all kids big and small to come with your bikes, scooters, trikes and even tractors(you will see what I mean) to Harper Street. I will have the exact date and time by the end of the week we are going to help Kirsten Lindsay pass out info on the event. Once again Kirsten is in the thick of it. Where does she get the time. I don't think she sleeps.

I think this Johnny Popper was a big hit at the 2007 parade

And did I mention that at the end of the parade there is a fire truck. The City Of Newberry Firemen spray the kids with the fire hose from the fire truck it is a blast(sorry about the pun).

Here is just a taste of what you will miss if you don't get to the parade.

Polka Dots, Stripes and Monograms OH MY!

Found the the cutest site that makes custom bags Pink Polka Dot Creations. These bags come in a wide variety of colors patterns and sizes. Check out the few pics I found. And soon they plan to have handbag parties. Is this the new Tupperware party? I have all the plastic ware I need right now but you can never have too many cute bags.

Let It Snow

I know it's June and most of us do not have snow but you can have snow flakes anytime. Better Homes & Gardens still has their Make A Flake site up. I know it is no substitute for cooler weather but close your eyes, go to your happy place and think cool. Make your own flake needs you to register but it is harmless and you can get coupons and cool offers from BH&G when you do. I just made a flake and I feel 20 degrees cool already.

Market Report

Wow What A Great Day!

Main Street Farmers Market comes off with out a hitch. The weather, the vendors and volunteers all were at their best and brightest. And Kirsten was worried. She made it look really easy, she did a great job and the market got rave reviews.

I borrowed a few of Kirsten Lindsay's pictures from flickr.com to show off just what you missed if you didn't get there. But have no fear you will have opportunities thru out the summer to cash in on all the baked goods, veggies and plants that our local growers and bakers have to offer. But don't sleep in or you will miss out. Get there at 9am sharp and you will get the cream of the crop (sorry about the pun).

Wish me luck I have big shoes to fill this Saturday I am the market manager, YIKES! I have a great crew to help and very supportive family.
