 Beautiful weather and beautiful cars flooded the courthouse square on Saturday, September 23rd for a car show organized by Jody Ellis titled Show & Shine. The inspiration for the car show came from Mr. Ellis Jody wanting to find a way to help people genuinely. He chose for all monies from the car show to go directly to benefit the Butler County Cancer Assistance.  Mr. Ellis is very taken with the non-profit because of how they operate.

Fall is a busy time for apple growers. Ripening times vary from year to year depending on the weather. If apples have coddling moth damage, they will drop up to two weeks before the crop is ripe.

The best and most time-tested method of judging when to pick fruit is the taste method. When enough starch has been converted to sugar and the flavor is developed, the fruit is ready to eat. Fruit continues to ripen in cold storage, so pick fruit before it is ripe if you want to store it.

Through the course of the day the Butler County NJROTC participated in 8 events with 2 teams for each. Among these events were, Tug Of War, Volleyball, Basketball Shootout, 50 Yard Dash, 1 Mile Relay, Teamwork Challenge, and Dodgeball. Our NJROTC also competed against 7 other schools. Among these schools were Muhlenberg County, Owensboro, McLean County, Paducah Tilghman, Davis County, Fort Campbell, and Graves County.
