I wish I had thought to do this sooner. There are always hilarious ( to a Yankee) little articles in the weekly Dover paper. We get the Dover times free in our grociery bag at the Dover Market if we shop on Wednesdays. Otherwise, you can put a quarter in the can at Ewing's Video and Tan and get one. ( you can also buy jewelry and glittery shoes there if you want to show off your tan while you rent a movie!) Read this article to yourself with a slow southern drawl.
The Dover Boy Scouts anual chili dinner is a very popular event in Dover. The funny part is that these are just local folks, cooking some homemade chili with the meat they have in thier freezer.
The Red Barn is just that. A red barn on the corner of a highway, at the edge of a farmer's field in the middle of nowhere. ( I'll try to take a picture next time I go by) They have a "sing'in" ( you have to say it right) every week and sometime special guests. It costs a dollar to get in.
Now, here, Dover has made the big time. And of course, this is no joke. A local girl, Nona, was violently murdered over a year ago. Her long time boyfriend, Kevin, was accused, tried and found not guilty. Her family believes he is the killer. His family sold thier business and home to pay for his defense. The DA insists Kevin is guilty. The police messed up the investigation BIG TIME. Nona and Kevin were/ are friends of Josh's from highschool. Kevin has been to Josh's appartment. We buy round baled hay from Kevin's dad and Ted's dad hired him to do dozer work on his property. Watch the show tomorrow and you will see our little town in all it's glory.
I'll keep my eye out, now, for other funny articles. Or maybe next post I'll tell ya'll about the guy who calls in to "Swap Shop", (a local radio show where you can advertize things for sale for free ) to sell used 5 gallon buckets for 50 cents each.
