Hartford

n recent months, Sonic restaurant has been using everyday folks in their TV commercials to advertise new menu items. In other words, have them ad-lib and describe the item or just debate, chit chat, and whatnot. Imagine my surprise when I learned two people I've known a long time would be starring in the newest Sonic ad.

Sorry, I'm tardy, oh that rhymed, but I have a back-to-school story. I realized recently that 40 years ago, I started kindergarten at Wayland Alexander Elementary School in Hartford.

If you love to canoe and/or kayak, I mean, it is the weather for it, check out this trip coming up on Saturday.

Several weeks ago, I got an invite to a Facebook group called "The Giving Garden". I noticed it was based in Hartford, my first home in Ohio County. I joined the group and I was eager to learn more about it.

The Kentucky Headhunters put on one heck of a show on Saturday night in Ohio County, but more importantly it helped those in need in a big way. What a giving community.
