The Price is Right first aired in 1972

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

A Tip of the Hat Goes to…

We give a tip of the newsboy’s cap to NEWSPAPER CARRIERS DAY. Get up early, get your papers together and make sure they get delivered on time… That’s the job, and we thank you for keeping us informed.

Our Wild and Furry Friends

NATIONAL WILDLIFE DAY brings awareness to the life all around us and how precious it is. This day also coincides with the death date of Steve Irwin, the “Crocodile Hunter” and honors this conservationist who dedicated his life to the preservation of wildlife. Let’s keep working to make that endangered list smaller and smaller.

On Today’s Menu…

NATIONAL SPICE BLEND DAY tantalizes our senses. Garlic powder, pepper and beer are great for simmering chicken, beef or pork. Throw in some cumin, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger to liven up you’re cooking and bring the flavor.

 NATIONAL MACADAMIA NUT DAY brings us the buttery taste of these legumes that go great in recipes or are just fine by themselves. Grab a handful today.
