When I stopped at the store yesterday afternoon, James told me Garey's operation was again scheduled - it was supposed to happen today.  I haven't heard it they went forward with it or not.  We are all thinking of Garey and his family - all the delays have been very difficult for them, I'm sure.  We'll keep you posted.

Work is continuing on the Joe's Pond Country Store - the new owners are busy cleaning, refurbishing and upgrading the place.  It's unlikely it will be open any time soon, however.  We have reached out to the new owners and hope to have an update from them soon.

We are getting ready for the Apple Pie Festival tomorrow - today is set-up day, with lots of work to be accomplished in order to have everything in place ready for pies and fun tomorrow.  Things are falling in place nicely and we look forward to a good turnout.  Hope to see you there!
