KATIE’S PROVISIONS, an artisanal bakery owned by Katie Arthur, is already up and running though the brick-and-mortar shop is scheduled to open in December at 187 S. Main Street. Until then, Katie will be selling her breads in a pop-up tent outside the front of that location’s front door on Fridays only. The breads use only Wiesenberger Mill flours and sourdough starters. Katie offers loaves of country, whole wheat, white and rye. And don’t be surprised to find “special” breads, like last week’s country loaf with lavender and cranberry. The pop-up opens at 9 a.m., until she is sold out. (Photo by Scott White)

WE HAVE BEEN INVADED BY THE WOODFORD SKELETON CREW!
Be carful out there people - they could be lurking anywhere! Though not as dangerous as Zombies (though they too are likely to arrive around the time of the Thriller Parade on Oct. 26), these WoFoCo skeletons should not be trifled with!

REMINDER!

The looming federal shutdown DOES NOT affect the US Postal Service. Everyone will receive their Sun this week. Be sure to check out Bob Vlach’s terrific story on the Woodford County Historical Society’s brick project, and of course Bill Caine’s superb sports coverage of the Yellow Jackets!

BUFORD-LANDMARK MASONIC LODGE NO. 41, held its 24th Annual Charity Golf Scramble at Picadome Golf Course on Monday, Sept. 22. The event, as always, was a fundraiser for the Woodford County school’s Family Resource Centers. Fifteen teams, who dodged on-again, off-again showers while enjoying a day of golf and fellowship, competed for the top prize. First place, with an overall 57, was Team Stout; second place, with an overall 58, was Team David Elliott; and third place, with an overall 59, was Team Wooten. The winner of the men’s “Closest to the Pin” was Dennis Whitaker. The longest drive for the men was Kyle Harold and Vickie Marshall for the women. Pictured is Team Stout, from left, Logan Stout, Chris Stout, Kyle Harrell and Don Pigg. (Photo by David Paul)

SARA SWINFORD, a district social worker, received a Hive Award at the Sept. 22 Woodford County Board of Education meeting for how she navigates some serious issues, including trauma and abuse, “and she does it masterfully every day,” said WCPS Assistant Superintendent Garet Wells. The safety and well-being of students is so important to her that she’s always available to help, he added. Pictured with Swinford is WCPS Superintendent Lori Jones, left, and Wells.
