Volume 5, Issue 35

First, if you are a member of the Class of '84, you probably already know that I goofed last week and wrongly listed your Friday night as a tailgate party at the football field. I have corrected that and hope you enjoy your evening at The Tent.

Are you ready for this year's Hatchie Fall Fest Scarecrow Contest? I hope so. If you've not gotten your entry form in yet, there's still time. Enter online.

If you are cruising around the All About Brownsville website you'll see a new feature - Brownsville's Most Wanted Fugitives. This is a program of the Brownsville Police Department and gives the community a chance to help the police. The postings will be updated on a regular basis, so be sure and keep an eye out for those listed and if you have information, call Crimestoppers.

We have a few walks coming up in October - March for Babies on the 3rd, Walk MS on the 10th and the Marla Angotti Memorial 5K/10K Race on the 31st. Be sure and check out the October Calendar for more details.

And speaking of Halloween, kids and adults will be glad to know that Trick or Treak with Me is scheduled for Friday, October 30, from 4-6, at participating merchants. This event, sponsored by the Brownsville Business Association, provides children with a safe environment for trick or treating. If you are a business and want to particiapte in this year's event, send me an e-mail or call.

Another BBA sponsored event is the annual Holiday in Haywood. This year's event is November 13-15. Retail vendors are being accepted now. Download an application.

An event for the Haywood County March of Dimes campaign is taking place next weekend, Sept. 26, at the Downtown Tavern in Jackson. Owner of the tavern is Molly Parker Cole and she is the aunt of the Green twins, our 2009 March of Dimes Ambassadors. Another local addition to the event will be gumbo by Haywood Park's John Kight. Twenty Four VII is the band for the night and a portion of all proceeds will go to March of Dimes.

Next week I'll be participating as a vendor at a festival in Camden. I'll let you know how it goes when we talk again on October 1st. I tried to mention events that I know about for the next two weeks so you stay up to speed while I'm away.

Hope I didn't forget anything.
