Newspaper Page Textmay 2008 VERNONIA'S from the editor.... Well my fellow Vemonians, do you think Winter is finally over? Is Mother Nature going to finally give it a rest and stop tormenting us? We’ve got plenty of outdoor activity ahead of us with First Fridays, the Open-Air Market and of course - Make Vemonia Shine Day. Let’s hope the weather turns a comer soon. We had an excellent turn out last Friday for the First Friday in May event. Lots of great art and local/regional artists on hand to answer questions. We were all enter tained by the Strings on Fire ensemble - awesome talent from such young people; The Blue House served up small plates and our own Brett Costley’s micro brew! I also heard from a reliable source that they sold out of the homemade bread again at the Open Air Market! All-in-all a very successful evening. This month will be about change, and not just the weather. We’re going to deeply miss Out On A Limb and Buckleberry Cottage’s presence downtown (read more about it on page 10). We wish them well in their new business venture; four more reasons for someone to visit Vemonia during the year! Speaking of saving the date and change...we have a new date for the Fishing Derby, Car Show and Concert, it will now be held June 21. Big changes will also be underway this month as the City Council reviews the budget committee’s recommendation for what will likely be some significant bud get cuts for the city. I encourage you to be present at these meetings and learn first-hand what changes are being considered. On a lighter note, we’ve made some changes here at Vemonia’s Voice with two new columns, “Worth The Trip,” and a local artist/creative souls column that will be written by Erika Paleck. The column has yet to be named (learn more about this on page 14). We hope you enjoy them. Our goal is to increase community participation in the paper; we welcome your input and ideas. Remember - Let’s Make Vemonia Shine this Saturday. Grab your gloves;*-we’ ll see you downtown Saturday, May 10!
