This has since become the head of the scarecrow in the Pumpkin Festival ads and on the banners.

Lyn:
Sounds like Speedy was just exercising the rights granted under her License to Chill, except Mother Nature had a different plan for the Autumn Equinox and let it rain.
The lesson learned is that when there are lots of people that love you, leave a note before you go off the grid so no one worries!

Hi Lyn,
Thanks for continuing to post the news about needing Van drivers.  We still are in need.

Hi Lyn,
I have a question.  Perhaps I missed it in one of your Carefree Truth Issues, but what happened to the hotel that was to be built next to the post office?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Vic Santoro 
(Lyn's note: I referred this question to Gary Neiss. Below is his reply.)
Due to the complexity of the hotel development and outside approving entities, it has taken a little longer than the developer originally suggested.  The developer has submitted their grading permit and building permit to the Town.  The grading of the site should begin in the near term.  The Townhomes are also moving forward and working out some design elements to address building code requirements.



Good Morning Lyn;
Herb's morning pictures are simply beautiful. Thank you for sending them, and thank Herb for taking them.
