 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, April 16, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 4J Brittany Hinkle Wins 4th in Britton The Britton Invitational BB Gun Tournament marks the first time that Brittany "Little Miss Sure-shot" Hinkle placed in the top ten in the individual markings. It hasn't been her shooting that prevented this from happening before, but the written exam that goes with it that gives her fits. Slowly, but surely she is learning. Keep up the great work there Good Buddy! In order to get to the Britton Invitational, Brit had to get up at 5:30. She went along with Martin, Sam, and Rachel Earl to the big showing. Kennedys and Ferris Make it Home George and Mavis Kennedy got to their home in Upton Wyoming on Thursday night. They have been busy catching up with all the goings on since they went South. When Mavis's father, E.E. Hinkle found out they were back, the first thing he wanted to know was when they'll be coming to see him. They don't seem to be in any hurry to do that, but they will be on the Ponderosa next month, so he'll just have to wait. All of us at the Holabird Advocate are wondering what his hurry is. We just hope he treats them good when they do show up. Ken and Joyce Ferris got home to Huron on Wednesday evening. E.E. Wants to see them too. Joyce did promise him that she'd "See ya in April", but we hear she's been experiencing her old back spasms, so that may take a while too. Even without that, it'll take them both a while to decompress from their trip. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate are glad that they all got home and in reasonably good shape too. Welcome back! Consumers Don't Take to Road Kill by Penny Nicholson-Dymes Holabird Advocate Financial Editor Kraft Foods is taking it on the chin because of their decision to make a line of fruit snacks called road kill. They did well in test market, but nationwide, they were a flop. Where did they do this testing? Dogpatch, Arkansas, perhaps. It seems that people complained because the snacks looked like "flattened critters". The name kinda gave that away I should think. Kraft has sold their Fruit snack division to Kellogg's, which is a Hinkle Brothers stock. Let's hope our friends in Battle Creek have better luck with it.
