  • ‘Meat and taters’ doesn’t have to mean boring

    Hello once again, my friends. As I sit here typing this article I’m reminded of how sometimes summer just won’t turn loose and let fall in. What had been beautiful temperatures in the 70s shot back up to the upper 80s. The lesson to be learned I think is that if you don’t like the weather, just give it a couple of days, it will change.

    Graybach LLC’s bid of $2,198,000 for the baseball complex project at Robert Westrick Memorial Park was the only one received by Carroll County Fiscal Court at its meeting Sept. 26.
