The Mountain Times
Although I'm always writing about the Alleghany News, we actually have a selection of newspapers from which to chose. The free one is the Mountain Times which bills itself as Ashe County's Weekly Paper. It's bigger than the News and is mostly ads. But, it has some interesting tidbits if you look for them.
In the most recent edition, we see an ad by the Cranberry Wood Works for 6" to 96" steel culverts and 4" to 48" plastic culverts. No wooden ones, though. Hmmm. That seems strange to me but ...
The Tweetsie Railroad is looking for seasonal workers from May to October. Think I'll try out for the Deer Park Attendants position since they are not looking for outlaws to rob the train this year.
Now's the time to pick up your spring chicks at Johnson's Milling and Feed. First come, first served unless you special ordered.
The Hickory Hops Beer Festival is coming up this Saturday. They have some special discounted hotel rooms available from those who succeed in tasting all 100 brews made by the 30 brewers. Not a bad idea. Either of 'em, actually.
We learn that Lyndon B. Johnson graduated from Southwest State Teachers College and that the transistor was invented in 1947. You can never tell when those two factoids will come in handy.
The Boone Jewish community is moving their Shabbat services from the Boone Unitarian Church to the St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Bummer. That's definitely the end of Jewish snake handling here abouts.
The High Country Organic Grower's School and Seed Swap is coming up. Among other things, they learn you have to organically bring up them chicks you got down at the feed store.
And, last but certainly not least, you can learn to roll your kayak at an indoor swimming pool over in Blowing Rock. The fee is $1.00. Sure looks like they are trying to keep the meerly curious away!
(Pssst, Nesbitt. They are holding classes over at the Lactation Center this week. Somehow I just know you will be interested in this one.)
Next up: the Independence, VA "Something or the Other" newspaper. I'll never forget the front-page story they ran a few years back about the big automobile crash at the stop light downtown. Yes, that's right, at the one and only stop light in town.
