Upcoming fun events in my neck of the woods

This weekend (August 18 and 19th) is our Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. There will be free entertainment and all proceeds from the food concessions, silent auction, massages and dunk tank will benefit the Cancer Society in their quest for a cure and support services for cancer victims.

August 25th and 26th are Black Iron Days at Hartwick Pines State Park. Demonstrations of blacksmithing by more than 50 men and women, plus weavers, woodworkers, musicians and BASEBALL! Sounds like lots of fun!
Also, on the same weekend, Wellington Farm Park will be having their annual Tractor and Engine Show "that pays homage to the heart of the Farm".

I'm all about trying to be environmentally friendly, so this new application, Local Cooling , seems like an easy way to save energy. I will install it and let you all know how it works out.

On a geeky note, I have been using Twitter occasionally, and just thought it was cool that it got a mention on Marketplace Morning Report.

You can file this next bit under religion and politics. Since the presidential races are already heating up, I found this interesting: Mitt Romney and the Mormon Church. I have a friend who is a Mormon, and while she was at my house for a Relay for Life team meeting, she happened to mention that she was wearing her Mormon Underwear. Interesting!
