We sent a special shout-out to the entire list of organizers of the 15th Annual Step Dance and Fiddle Festival for the great work they did in organizing and pulling off such a successful community event.
Charlie Lang was by to discuss the Festival.
This of course is the day after the anniversary of Elvis’ death in 1977 – and with that, Florists Transworld Delivery (FTD) reported that in one day the number of orders for flowers to be delivered to Graceland immediately after his death had surpassed the number for any other event in the company's history.
Not everyone completely understand what Elvis had to do with August 16th though. Check out this unfortunate clip of a presidential candidate on the campaign trail:
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday.
