The Toga Annual Community Benefit culminated with a daylong festival featuring music, food, children's carnival, motorcycle run, tractor show, flea market, and cruise-in at the Toga Fire House. Three-year-old Jeremy Mason was a real crowd pleaser as he practiced for the day he can join In the Tradition, a band that includes his parents and his grandfather. Recipients of this year's benefit include three area residents facing continuing health challenges and medical expenses. Thursday, September 02, 2010
I was adding a few things to the drawer downstairs where all of our column heads are located and there it was... It was staring right at me and calling my name...
I had forgotten...
It was my "On Megan's Mind" graphic and the little girl was there too in her rain suit and boots-thank goodness Earl is just going to blow right on by and we won't have to be using those for real this time but there's a few lined up behind him that might not leave us so lucky.

FARMVILLE - After weeks of practicing against one-another, the Fuqua School volleyball team was eager to face a team wearing a different colored uniform when the Lady Falcons opened their season on Monday night in Gilmer Gymnasium.
They made the most of it, defeating Cumberland 3-1 (25-19, 25-14, 24-26, 25-10) in a non-league tune-up. Cumberland, meanwhile, took another small step in its rebuilding process, winning its first set of the season.
One thing the coaching staffs at Prince Edward and Cumberland won't have to do this week is come up with a way to get their squads hyped for this Friday. That was taken care of when the 2010 schedule was released.
In terms of bragging rights, a lot is already riding on this game. In terms of both teams entering Friday's game a blemish on their records, it's even more urgent. Thursday, September 02, 2010
APPOMATTOX - It wasn't the prettiest victory in the history of Buckingham County High School football, but don't expect the Knights to throw back their 13-7 win over the Raiders.
The two teams accounted for a combined total of eight fumbles, Appomattox dominated total time of possession and most of the 25 players on the BCHS roster suffered from cramping at least once on a rather cool but muggy evening at Bragg Stadium. Tuesday, August 31, 2010
