Montgomery locals
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
