🍂🛍️ Having a Yard Sale October 5–11? 🛍️🍂

It’s easy to get listed:

👉 Go online by September 20
👉 Enter your yard sale classified
👉 Pay just $20

That’s it! Your yard sale will be included in our special guide. 🏷️

We came away with a few cakes and cookies at last night's Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show Baked Goods Auction.

We even snagged a cake from our very own Maxine. Maxine is our Webmaster and happens to be a Grand Champion baker as well! 🎂🧁🥧

Please see the note below from the Rocky Ridge Volunteer Fire Company. We made a mistake in the Around Town section of the August Issue and listed the correct date for the parade (August 12) but referred to the wrong day of the week. It is Wednesday, not Thursday.

We apologize for any confusion this has caused. We never want to make mistakes, but occasionally it happens and we appreciate everyone's grace.

Have a blessed day!
