According to the buzz on Facebook, it appears
the Spikers are a bunch of busy bees this summer...
Kate Spiker
has been setting up a new website that details the goings-on at John
and Sue Spiker's farm in Jane Lew, WV. Visit the site at
www.spikerfarm.com. Be
sure to look for details regarding the Annual Bull Ride
scheduled for Saturday, July 30.
Also busy
with website updates is Chris Chambers' bluegrass band, Appalachia.
Read band member bios, view photos and videos, and find out when
they may be playing in your area by visiting their newly redesigned
website at
www.appalachiamusic.com.
Jonelle
Swiger announced she's arranged to have the vacant property by Dairy
King in Jane Lew available for use as a Farmers Market. "It's
kind of a test run to see if there would be enough interested
people," she said. "I'll be there around 8:00 AM each Saturday
and will stay until noon or until I'm sold out. Come on out
and support your local gardeners. Anyone and everyone is
welcome to set up a station free of charge on Saturday mornings."
In addition to the produce from her garden, Jonelle is selling fresh
brown eggs and taking orders for locally raised beef.

Haley
Conley and Pat Cloughessy became engaged on July 1. Their
parents are trying to help the couple brainstorm ways to include
family and friends from New York to Florida in the celebration.
This could be tricky.
Robby
Currey recently completed his year of service as West Virginia State
FFA Secretary and is now running for National FFA office. This
past April, he received West Virginia's nomination to represent the
state at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
He will go through several interview rounds and other selection
processes and will hopefully be one of six appointed to the title of
a National FFA officer.
Robby's
friends have set up a support page on Facebook titled "Operation
Bulldog" where visitors can learn more about Robby, leave personal
comments and participate in awareness-raising events such as a
current t-shirt sale. Participation in this newly formed group
exceeds 1500 members and is growing daily.
Now...what have the REST of you been up to this summer? |
