*UPDATE* - All meat is now gone & I'm meeting up with those who messaged me first tomorrow. Praying it will be a blessing. Thanks everyone.

Hey friends! My daughter did a little hunting and we were blessed with a nice amount of deer meat in our freezer. I'd like to donate some of this meat to a family in need. Is this you? Or someone you know? Please message me and I'll be happy to meet in town one day this week to deliver. 🩵🦌

Hey Blairsville Friends! I need some help. If I planned another Re-Sell Event for late February/early March....would you prefer a Ladies Sale or a Kids Sale? (I'm hoping to make both happen, BUT...if it had to be just one for timing purposes, which would you choose?)And remember, this would be a sale for you to be able to clean out those closets/houses to sell things in one location with hundreds of shoppers to make extra money and "spring clean". 🩵

🩵Giving Back Tuesday🩵

Giving back doesn’t always require money—kindness comes in many forms! This Giving Tuesday, I'm sharing meaningful ways you can make a difference in our community:

✨ Volunteer Your Time – Join a local charity or food drive to help those in need.
✨ Spread Warmth – Donate gently used coats, blankets, or essentials to shelters.
✨ Be a Helping Hand – Offer support to a neighbor, friend, or family member.
✨ Share Gratitude – Write thank-you notes to teachers, first responders, or caregivers.
✨ Support Local – Shop with small businesses that give back
✨Smile at someone!
✨Give a compliment to someone not expecting it

💝 Let's spread joy and uplift others in our community. Let’s inspire each other to make a difference today and every day!

I was able to present the Union County FFA & Agriculture Education High School & Middle School Programs with checks totaling $1,000 tonight. This was a portion of The Christmas in the Mountains Marketplace and the Raffle Tickets Sold at Ladies Bingo, so thank YOU for your support at my events! 🩵(Pictured here are Jakob Brown - Union County Middle School Ag Teacher, myself & Preston Dyer - Union County High School Ag Teacher.)

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) is a vital part of schools, especially in rural and agricultural communities, as it develops leadership, teamwork, and career skills in students. Here’s why FFA is important:
1. Career Readiness: FFA helps students explore and prepare for careers in agriculture, science, business, and technology. It provides practical, hands-on experiences that build skills for the workforce.
2. Leadership Development: Through officer roles, competitions, and events, FFA fosters public speaking, decision-making, and organizational skills.
3. Agricultural Education: Students gain knowledge about sustainable agriculture, food systems, and environmental stewardship, which are critical for future global challenges.
4. Community Engagement: FFA members often participate in service projects and local initiatives, building stronger ties between schools and their communities.
5. Personal Growth: The program emphasizes character development, responsibility, and work ethic, preparing students for success in any field.
6. Scholarships and Opportunities: FFA opens doors to scholarships, internships, and networking, helping students achieve their academic and professional goals.

FFA’s presence in schools ensures students have a pathway to develop as well-rounded individuals ready to contribute to society. I hope you will join me in supporting these students in the future. Please follow & get involved with The ➡️ Union County FFA Alumni & Supporters 💙💛
