 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, April 09, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 4F Car Sale-a-Bration Beats Schmeckfest? What the??? A Holabird Advocate Reader From Springfield, Illinois, Dave Bakke, has reported hearing a radio spot ad from an auto dealership that claims that they will have an event that beats going to the Schmeckfest in Freeman this weekend. First of all, we don't believe it. Secondly, we wouldn't go if it did. And thirdly, how in the name of Elvis did this dealership even now about the Freeman Schmeckfest? Schmeckfest is an annual event in freeman that is a benefit for Freeman Academy. The work Schmeckfest is German for "Eating Party". All matter of German food is there to be sampled, if not bought. Some of this food isn't exactly ideal for the Atkins plan, but it's all good. Kennedys Ready to Come Home Mavis Kennedy reports that she and husband George Kennedy will be on the road for beautiful downtown Upton, Wyoming about Tuesday. It's just getting to hot for them down there in Arizona. They also plan to be at the Ponderosa when Harold, Mary, and Jerry Hinkle leave for the Corn Palace at Mitchell in May to take in the live broadcast of the"Prairie Home Companion" radio show. Sioux Falls Councilman Experiences Homelessness "Downtown" Vernon Brown of the Sioux Falls City Council is going to spend the evening in a Sioux Falls homeless shelter, just to see what it is like. While all of us here at the Holabird Advocate give points to Mr. Brown for his wanting to do something to show he cares, but if he really wanted to do something, why not invite a homeless person into his home. Come on, Vern! If you really cared, you'd do it! Now, of course, there are no homeless people in Holabird. In fact, We have houses that are vacant and aching for someone to live there. Would we want to live in one of those houses? Heck no! But then we aren't homeless, are we. On The Road by Jerry Hinkle Publisher, Holabird Advocate As I get closer and closer to the May deadline, it looks like I'm more and more committed to this trip to Mitchell next month. I have discovered that the hotel doesn't have a free Continental Breakfast, whatever that is. It does, however, have a McDonald's restaurants just a quarter mile away. Just within walking distance. I can almost taste those McGriddles in my mouth now. It has also come to my attention that my cousin Elisabeth will be listening in from her home on the east coast. How nice it is that they get corny entertainment out there. My dad has listened to this show for weeks now, and he still doesn't get it. I will have to find a way to let her know I made it there. I'm sure I will think of something. Right now, she's more concerned with her kids pets. As well she should be. As a minister, I will pray God's blessing on the pets, and let him worry about it. Problem Solved! That was easy enough!
