There will be all kinds of freebies including my personal favorite, Fudge!! Alexander’s Fudge will be giving out free samples at the Willow Tree Studios starting at 12:30pm. Plus all fudge sales will be donated to the West Lincoln Community Care. Also, Willow Tree Studios will be offering a no tax sale all day and a gift basket draw. So be sure to drop in.

Good Morning Smithville!

Have you ever driven down West Street/Hwy 20 or Grimsby Road 5 when the crossing guards are out? If you have chances are you’ve been greeted by Darrell.

Darrell is one of our amazing crossing guards that smiles and waves at every single vehicle that drives past him. And when I say every single vehicle, I mean EVERY single vehicle. He will even shout out “good morning” and when he sees the kids on the passing school buses, does a silly dance to make them laugh which starts their day off great!

I’m not sure about you but I enjoy getting greeted by Darrell each time I drive by him. It sets the tone for my day and puts a smile on my face.

If you don’t drive past him during the times that he is out being a crossing guard then maybe you will see him at the Smithville Public Library where he volunteers his time. Be sure to say hi because I guarantee he will say hi to you!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Holy Rolly’s

My wife and I thought we would go for breakfast to Rolly’s Smokehouse. This is our first time here for breakfast and they did not disappoint. I ordered the “Big Breakfast” which includes 3 eggs, smoked bacon, smoked sausage, home fries, a pancake and toast. Wow was I full.

Very delicious, well worth it! I would go back here in a heart beat.

If you have ever been? Leave me a comment.

Alexander’s Fudge

For my first blog post I thought I would start with Alexander’s Fudge. The owner, Chris Alexander is an amazing person that makes an amazing product. You can find it at a few places in town. Visit his website for the full list at https://www.alexandersfudge.com/

Although you can’t really go wrong with any flavor but my go to is the Maple. Absolutely amazing!! Peanut Butter Chocolate is a close second.

Alexander’s Fudge also does catering to all different types of events such as weddings, meetings and all sorts of party types. They also do Fundraising.

So the next time you are out and about make sure you pick some up and support local. Remember Maple!!
