HomeGrown Cantalope

As I walked in the Jetmore Food Center my nose caught the undeniable smell of fresh, ripe cantalope. I followed my nose down the isle and there they were....HUGE! I love cantalope! Mark said that they had just received them and had already sold 150. (Guess that means that there are a lot of us who will be having fresh cantalope for breakfast in the morning.) I "taste-tested" mine while I was cutting it up tonight...it tastes every bit as good as it smells!

HorseThief Reservoir means better economics.

Worm Sales are up! Not breaking news? It is here in Hodgeman County.
Since HorseThief Reservoir opened it's gates on June 26th there have been over 8000 visitors. Some only come to look at the new Reservoir, others come to spend some time there and enjoy this new water-related entertainment. Jet Skis, boats, fishing poles and life jackets are carted in and out on a daily basis; along with picnic and s'more-making supplies. HorseThief is FUN!
The Hutch News did a wonderful front-page piece about HorseThief and it's economic impact today...and KSN News has a story coming out tonight. When you get 8000+ people coming through town, buying gas, ice, and picnic supplies...it adds up! Then add the travelers that stay overnight at the Lodge (our new Motel) and the unfortunate souls that need boat repairs while they're here...and you've got a sizeable impact. Not to mention the locals that purchase boats and now need a place to store them...or the Insurance needs for those that have just purchased boats and jet skis.
Worm Sales at the Jetmore Food Center are up 47% this month! I am excited!
