Final Farmers Market of the season

By Velma Butt Did you read the Mid America Marketplace from last week that comes with the Wright County Monitor? The front page article showed who the new Britt Hobo royalty are. I do not think that Frog has ever stopped for a visit in Dows but Bookworm Betty has been here a couple of times. She is married to Cannonball Paul who has been part of the Corn Days entertainment a couple of times. Since that has been in the summer time, Bookworm Betty has been able to be with him in Dows. The name Bookworm Betty is a good name as she is the head librarian at a school in the twin cities. It has been my pleasure to get to know Bookworm Betty and we wish her an interesting and delightful reign as Hobo Queen. It has been interesting reading the comments concerning school starting in mid to late August versus after Labor Day. I am not sure that even though the schools were in session part of the hot days, how much learning was actually accomplished. According to the weather report on the news this evening there may be some more early outs in the coming days. So the discussion will be ongoing and we all know there will be no promise that if schools do decide to wait next year that the weather will cooperate like it is suppose too. The healing process is progressing but will still have to pass on the “KEEP ROLLING”.
