 Bess Streeter Aldrich Primitives Display

Make sure to stop by the Bess Streeter Aldrich to see the latest antiques and primitives.  

Every room is beautiful and the combination of antiques and primitives mix very well. 

This display remains until mid-November when the holiday and Christmas trees grace the halls. 

 Pumpkins and Fall Decorations

 Don't forget to go over to the Pumkin patch and pick up some pumpkins and fall decorations. 

You don't have to go to a big pumpkin patch and be over stimulated with all the activities, hustle and bustle.

Memories and traditions are created with ones you love. Sit back on the porch swing and just enjoy the gorgeous fall day.

 EMMA Meeting

How long until the Holiday Extravaganza?

It will be here before you know it.

The Starry Knight parade happens at night. So how do you see the entries? Lights? Lights strung around tires, on floats. but lights with no extension cords. Battery-powered lights. Think about having an entry this year. Gather your groups, organization, or business and come up with something fun and imaginative.
