I was reading through the newspaper, the Fillmore County Journal, this afternoon, and thought a few articles very interesting...
First, this article headline is definitely not something you read everyday: "Runaway horse and buggy results in accident."
An Amish buggy is a fairly normal occurrence in Harmony, but this was no normal ride. The buggy was being pulled by two horses-- one was being trained, and according to witnesses "it just went wild!" The buggy crashed into a fire hydrant and came apart. No one was injured, though the two Amish boys driving the buggy were shaken.
Next, Historic Forestville will be hosting their annual Pickling Program on August 21. "Pickle It Day" will allow participants to assist gardeners in picking the most ripe garden vegetables including peppers, cucumbers, beets, onions, cabbage, and more. The vegetables will then be cleaned and processed using 19th century pickling methods for food preservation. Sounds like something my dad would enjoy!
And, from the Bluff Country Reader, a new soda pop flavor has been announced by the Spring Grove Soda Company. In a combined effort with Lanesboro Local, a rhubarb-flavored soda pop was created! Th new flavor is called "Rhub-Berry," and it was created by combining rhubarb flavoring to the already existing strawberry. Next year's Rhubarb Festival go-ers will have something new to try!
