And we're going to be wrapping up our Relay For Life campaign in a couple of weeks. ***WARNING: Shameless promotion follows*** Our last 'big' fund-raiser for the Relay is our garage sale on Saturday. We've had lots of items donated for this (some nice stuff too and I think it'll turn out pretty well even if it rains. If anybody semi-local is interested we're going to be located at Community Trust Bank on Main Street in Farmerville, LA. We'd appreciate it!

It should make up for the empty, sheep-festival-less place in my summer. (sigh)
