Farmington News Week of March 30th
Good Morning Farmington!
I noticed that the rain we had this week has sure brought out the daffodil’s (and I even spotted a dreaded dandelion yesterday in a crack in the sidewalk! Yikes!) everywhere from flowerbeds to spots along side the road. I’m not sure how everyone else’s gardening is coming along but it seems like one thing we sure have popping up around town just happens to be a lot of real estate signs! If anyone’s in the neighborhood for a nice neighborhood they just need to shop around town! I also wanted to pass along that another “spring favorite” is popping up in patches from what I hear (and smell!). My Dad had one of the first Ramp burgers of the season over the weekend and says that his patch is doing quite nicely this year!
Longaberger Bus Trip A Longaberger bus trip is planned for Saturday, May 9th. The chartered bus will be leaving Middletown Mall in Fairmont and the Mountaineer Mall in Morgantown. We will be stopping in Downtown Dresden for some shopping as well as the Longaberger Homestead!
