Old West Festival 2014
Fall is the perfect time for festivals, and one of the best festivals in our area (in my humble opinion) is the Old West Festival in Williamsburg, Ohio.

How many of us have uttered the phrase: “I just don’t have time to read”. It’s such a shame when we have trouble finding time to read for pleasure. I know firsthand that finding that time to read can be a struggle. We all have so many things that keep us from reading for pleasure…our...
