Elizabethtown Dixie Youth Baseball team wins again, 14-3 over previously unbeaten Fairmont … Home team trailed early, but came roaring back … Congratulations … to players, coaches, parents and all those who have supported the team in any way…
It’s Thursday … remember when most local retail stores closed on Thursday afternoon … Elizabethtown, Bladenboro, maybe more … For many, it was a perfect time to join friends at the golf course and play a round … or go fishing…
Should be a great day to be outside in Bladen County … Sunny skies with a high near 92 … Just right for our friends vacationing at White Lake. Mostly clear tonight, with a low around 71. A slight chance (20%) of rain after noon on Friday … mostly sunny, high near 92…
We had about an inch and a half of rain early Wednesday morning … As older folks would say … ‘a frog strangler’ … Came quick, heavy rain before moving on…
Be aware of ‘scam artist’ … the latest is someone identifying themselves as a Bladen County Sheriff’s Deputy … telling victims they failed to appear for Grand Jury and they need to make payments or it will become a criminal matter … Do not ‘fall for the scam’ … Hang up and call the Sheriff’s Department at 910-862-6960…
So, what are your plans for the weekend, other than cut the grass … the weeds?
Vacation time for some … Hope it is the best ever…
