When twin friends Phillip & David from Australia come to Bedford on their way to Twinsburg, Ohio & they stop in town for a quick cuppa coffee after hanging out with me for awhile. And they see The Bedford Gazette there & they see my story & the Peppercorn Market ad further in, & they send me photos of the whole thing…there’s pride in our small town newspaper, & smiles all around. And then the other twin says, “But don’t you want to write for the New York Times?” And I say, “Why would I want to do that? Tyna writes for the Bedford Gazette.” 😎🙋‍♀️🥰

Keep your coins & save money by shopping at The Bedford Gazette while these gift cards last! They’ll fly outta here faster than Santa’s sleigh on his way home to Mrs. Clause.

There was a whole lot of red, white & blue happening on the green lawn of the cemetery along Juliana St. this afternoon. Larry Smith, a local historian, historic consultant, & also representing the Frontier Patriots Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, organized & held this ceremony of celebration and remembrance of the 22 American Revolutionary War patriots of Bedford County buried there. He passed out flags to the more than 14 people present on this picture-perfect summer Saturday. Smith said, “this is only one segment” of the events planned throughout the America250 year & for the America250PA celebrations that will continue across Bedford County & the country. 🇺🇸 You can read all about the speakers, the guests, & what’s next in The Bedford Gazette in the next few days—in print & online. What a year it’s going to be—you don’t want to miss a thing so have your subscriptions ready to catch all the community news—in depth, in detail, & with dedication from our newsroom team.

I was dressed in black to attend a funeral but had to hurry afterwards to the fair to cover an event. Who goes to the fair on a blazing hot sunny day in all black? 🙋‍♀️ I prefer this AI version of me but instead, I had to grab a hat & go! I saw a really fun camera entered into the judging—made of Legos! So clever!
Anyway, it’s a wrap for my part of the 2025 Bedford County Fair this year although there’s still plenty more for you to enjoy.
Thank you to all the parents who let me use photos of their children, thanks to all the volunteers who stopped being crazy busy so they could talk with me, thanks to all of the queen’s royal court for taking all my calls,The Bedford Gazette for always being so willing to cover every corner of the fair, & always saying “yes” when there’s a good story to tell.
This year, on all my people-watching moments, I noticed lots more fashion statements—I noticed less Croc shoes & way more Hey Dudes. A lot less leggings & way more baggy-style clothes. I saw lots of people who dressed up a little extra, & of course, at an agricultural county fair, there were lots & lots of cowboy boots & jeans. Lots of cool belts, lots of hats, lots of Daisy Duke shorts, lots of smiles & braided hair. Only one old lady in a black dress & thrifted straw hat asking folks to say “cheese!” 😎 I thought I’d share this here so we could all see how the trends change over the years. I hope to be here; I hope you will be, too. Either way, it’s 2025 & I thank you! 🎡🎠🎢🎟️ See you next year!

Okay, be honest. Am I the only one in Bedford County that didn’t know there was a Model Horse Show Competition fashioned in nearly every way like a real and live horse show at the Fair every year? Seriously, it was just me? Well, I know now, & so will readers this weekend in print & online as the story comes out. What was the judge looking for? Why do the volunteers care so much about this event? How does this show help the program participants? Made me want to go get a toy horse myself & figure out all this horse & tack stuff. I hope there’s still time for me to be “cool” because this show was awesome. 😎 Get your copy of The Bedford Gazette newspaper Saturday & read all about it & see more photos. And then go research an Appaloosa. 😎🐎🏇🐴🌟

You just never know who you might see at the Bedford County Fair! People-watching at its finest! Your friends, your family, your co-workers, your neighbors, the people of your community, guests who’ve come to the county to join in on the fun. 🤩 Summer fun, silly smiles—small town sunny days & starry nights: 2025.

Another day & five days in to this year’s Bedford County Fair! There’s plenty of time to get in on all the sights & sounds, events & activities. I learned so many new things this year even though I’ve covered Fair stories since 2016 in one way or another. For example, I never knew there was a “vegetable freaks” category for produce. If so, I would’ve entered my long-legged carrots! I’ll be ready for next year with my own baked goods & homegrown flowers to be judged.
And I never knew there was a model horse show fashioned after real horse shows!
I’ve met so many new people, & saw so many familiar faces out-&-about. Isn’t that one of the main goals—to bring the community together? We’ve got Fair stories lined up over here at The Bedford Gazette for a few more days. Get the scoop & read all about the Best of Show entries; see photos of random fairgoers, & catch up on the daily doings of the 2025 Fair—in print & online when you subscribe. Come on—get in on all the fun with none of the heat—no tickets necessary. 😎 Your community newspaper counts on you! 🥰

Breaking Baked Goods News of the Tastiest Sort***
Tonight, at 7:30 pm, at the Bedford County Fair, a baked goods auction will take place. 113 cakes, pies, cookies, scones, candies, breads, rolls & confections will go to the highest bidder—each with a little missing sliver where the judge sampled each ware. Cash or credit accepted with the proceeds donated to the 4H building. Sure, big beef is big business; livestock rules the roost at the fair. But dig in & dig deep to take home one home-baked treat after another.
The volunteers today said that often baked goods are purchased to feed the “kids at the barns” but fairgoers can snag a goodie to take home & enjoy while further supporting the fair.
Apple pies, cherry pies, pecan pies, chocolate cakes, citrus cakes, ones piles high with icing & decorations, boxes of every kind of cookie, fruit & nuts breads, bakery-style breads, & everything in-between—all to satisfy every sweet teeth, & also to be yet another feather in the cap of these bakers who give so much time & effort on their entries. And of course, the proceeds go right back into being ready to do this and more all over again next year. See you there! I know which ones I have my eye on—& I’m not sharing! 😎 Patrick will have to bid on his own if he wants to win! 😎 🎂🍰🧁🥮🥧🍪🧑‍🍳

If you set your sun hat down to scuffle up through the sawdust of the show arena at the fair to cover the coronation of this year’s queen, you never know who might try it on & who may look better than you do in it! 😎😃 This must be a lucky hat because a few minutes later, his wife won $91 in the 50-50 cash drawing! Oh, the fun & the fanfare of the Bedford County Fair! On Tuesday, you can read an in-depth story on this year’s royalty court—in print & online at the Bedford Gazette. Here’s a hint—there’s a new queen in town & her family was there to cheer her on!
