I just had a scoop of this homemade goodness. It's delicious! Get some!

ARE YOU READY FOR IT?
🧡🍂🤎A little taste of downhome goodness! Our homemade, vanilla ice cream is rich, smooth and creamy!
Gonna drizzle it with warm, buttery caramel sauce, then crown it with crunchy, Praline Pecans, just like something Grandma might have served up on a beautiful Fall, afternoon. One spoonful, and you'll be stepping back to a "Simpler Time" 🧡🍂🤎
STARTING WED, SEPT 9th!!

Excited to tease this week's cover!
Lot's going on in SEK.

Less excited to admit we made an error in this edition. The Sept 1 county commission article on page 3 has the right title, but the rest is a duplicate of the August 28 meeting coverage. We apologize for this oversight and we are attaching the correct page below.
