Sweet Corn (Peaches & Cream varieties) should hit the market this weekend!  Between two farmers, we should have a fairly deep supply, but I would still come before 10 a.m., to pin down the seasons first harvest.

Blackberries, Blueberries, and Tomatoes are the next featured attractions this weekend, as the heat is finally pushing up the sugars in these fruits. Taste should be top quality this weekend, due to the wonderful growing weather Arkansas experienced this past week.

This house at 415 Maple Street on the trolley line and directly across the street from City Grove townhomes was auctioned last night. There were only two parties bidding on the house and the bidding started and stopped at $75,000. It is doubtful this bid will be accepted by the Owner, since it was mentioned at the auction that the Owner had $200,000 in the house.

The conversation between the bidders and auction firm continued after the auction for a little while, so a higher offer may have been tendered. In any event given the house size and condition it is doubtful an offer of over $200,000 was recieved

The hot dog stand in front of Galaxy has returned on Thursdays and Fridays. Same great dogs. Same great toppings.  All at a dollar cheaper per dog than last year.  Go, get a dog and sit on the furniture in front of Galaxy while you enjoy your dog.  Then go inside Galaxy and check out all the neat stuff.

The Battle of the Badges Blood Drive will be today from 7AM till 6PM at the Patrick Henry Hays Senior Center at 401 West Pershing. Please come out and help the NLR Police and Fire Departments defeat the LR Police and Fire Department by donating blood. Last year, supporters of the NLR Police and Fire donated 108 units of blood to LR's 93. If you noticed, the blood drive is starting at 7 to provide officers working the midnight shift an opportunity to participate as well as to provide people the opportunity to donate before they go to work.
