Montgomery locals

By Staff | Oct 4, 2011

There’s nothing like taking a beach vacation in September to illustrate

the difference in the weather! It was 82 degrees when we left sunny

South Carolina last weekend. Twelve hours later, we arrived back in

Montgomery to a cold drizzle and 42 degrees. My advice would be to enjoy

the upcoming weekend, which is expected to be sunny with temps in the

70’s.

There’s the annual Woolly Worm Festival held at Hufnagle Park in

Lewisburg this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Chinese Auction and

BBQ to benefit the Oak Grove Community Center, plus the last of the

season’s yard sales.

Sunday, October 9, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Chinese Auction and Chicken

Bar-B-Q will be held at A-1 Wheels and Deals on Route 15, Montgomery.
