Saturday the parade was led by our own Boy Scouts bearing the colors. Thank you. Then came the RSM Band. What a fine job they did. More came and it was a delightful view for my grandson Carter who filled up two of my coat pocket with candy. I thank the participants of the parade. He and I both enjoyed it.
Then we participated in the games. The prizes were nice too. I even tried two of them. With a cost of $1.00 for a ticket and each game cost one ticket, we could play them all more than once.
The Edna Sawyer Award was given to the Friends of Ridge Spring (FORS) and I was called up to receive it. What a surprise and how grateful I am for the recognition for our organization. The silver platter is beautiful. Next meeting is November 20th.
The music was a delight too. Richard Elders always does a wonderful job with lining up the entertainment. Did you hear the last group, the Voice? Good times were had by all.
The Car Show and the Tractor show were together this year. It sends you down memory lane. I will have the winners next week.

Lee Ann Perez/ One Ash Farm and Dairy: It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that our sweet Annabelle succumbed to her battle with milk fever, and that little Rocket is now an orphan. Rocket is doing well, and has found a new "momma" in Alex, who is bottle feeding her three times daily. Rocket is spunky and runs jumps and tries out that young "moooo" every time she sees her. I have written about Rockets story in our blog. If you would like to see a picture, and read more, you can find it at www.OneAshPlantation.blogspot.com.We won't be back at Ridge Spring Market until spring, but remember you can give us a call and come out to the farm to pick up fresh milk, bread and our herbal salve!
