Frances Negranza joined the Skagit County Parks & Rec Department a year and a half ago as the assistant to long time fairgrounds manager Aric Gaither -- and I immediately took a shine to her, as the old folks say. For one thing, she has the same name as my cat. She also got her start in county fairs at the same annual venue I took my kids to: the Santa Clara County Fair in California. But most important, what has endeared Frances Negranza to me is her unwavering devotion to the institution of county fairs as a community gathering, a source of affordable family fun, and an event that fosters agriculture and animal husbandry among youth through programs like Future Farmers of America (which Frances belonged to as a high schooler) and 4H. In this Tales of the Magic Skagit episode, we'll learn about Frances' background and her role with the Skagit County Fairgrounds -- which includes far more than an annual August event -- and we'll get a sneak peak into this year's Fair attractions. In keeping with the 2024 Skagit County Fair theme, "Have You Herd, Skagit's Goat Talent," you'll get some insight into the talents that Ms. Negranza brings to the Magic Skagit's beloved Fair.

Motorists in Austell pulled over for faulty tail lights, broken rearview mirrors or other damage to their cars could now be in for a gift card instead of a ticket. Thanks to a partnership between Advance Auto Parts and the Austell Police Department, officers responsible for traffic citations have $500 worth of gift cards from the auto shop. Instead of making drivers pay, the city will pay drivers to be safer on the road, giving them a gift card to fund repairs so that they comply with the law. Austell Police Chief Scott Hamilton was joined by other officers in the city's police department Thursday at the Advance Auto Parts on Veterans Memorial Highway to announce the collaboration. Mark Strenta, an Advance Auto Parts vice president, said this is the company's first partnership with any Cobb city, and the first to happen in one west of Atlanta. Advance Auto Parts already has similar partnerships with Sandy Springs and Lilburn, and Strenta hopes to expand to Peachtree City soon. Cobb County leaders were in the schools Thursday to read to students as part of Read Across America Day. Established by the National Education Association in 1998, Read Across America now offers year-round programming to encourage reading among students, and it does so by promoting books that students can both see themselves reflected in, as well as those that present experiences that may be different from their own. It also still marks March 2 as Read Across America Day, and all of March is National Reading Month. Smyrna Mayor Derek Norton read to fourth-grade students at Norton Park Elementary to recognize the event. As part of her “Read Across Cobb tour,” Cobb school board Nichelle Davis read to “Smyrna Elementary STARS” to celebrate the day. Another Cobb school board member, Leroy Tre' Hutchins, read to students at Riverside Elementary in Mableton.  Kennesaw State used three straight 3-pointers deep into the shot clock, including what may have been the biggest shot in the program's Division I history, to hold off Lipscomb 80-71 in the semifinals of the ASUN tournament at the KSU Convocation Center on Thursday. The Owls will now host the conference championship game for the first time. They will get a rematch with co-regular season champion Liberty on Sunday at 3 p.m. with the winner earning the automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. It will be the first time KSU will play in the title game, and it will be the first game to be shown on national television from the Convocation Center, as ESPN 2 will broadcast it. If the Owls win on Sunday, they will clinch a spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time since the program moved to Division one. The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, stretching along the river for 48 miles through metro Atlanta, posted its highest ever number of visitors in 2022, the National Park Service announced Thursday. Some 3.5 million people are estimated to have visited the recreation area last year, representing an increase of about 9% from 2021. That outpaces the river's park service neighbor in Cobb, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, which had about 1.3 million visitors in 2022. Among all National Park Service units nationwide, the Chattahoochee ranked 21st in attendance. The park service said to avoid crowds, visitors are advised to visit NPS dot gov. A Cobb County police officer was involved in a car wreck Thursday morning. Police spokesperson Shenise Barner said the collision occurred around 7 a.m. near Atlanta Road at Bingham Street, in the Fair Oaks area. There were complaints of minor injuries, but Barner said this was not a “major crash.” Cobb's Selective Traffic Enforcement Unit is investigating the incident. The Kennesaw Parks & Rec Department will have the annual Bunny Breakfast on April 1 at the Ben Robertson Community Center in Kennesaw. There will be two seatings available: 8 to 9:15 a.m. and 10 to 11:15 a.m. Attendees will be treated to a buffet including hot and ready pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage, as well as a medley of fresh fruit and breakfast sweets. Everyone's favorite cottontail will be making his way from table to table to say hello to all the boys and girls. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own camera to capture photos with the Easter Bunny. Tickets are $8 per person and can be purchased online or at the Ben Robertson Community Center. Advance purchase is required. Tickets are non-refundable after March 24. Children ages two and under do not need a ticket if they will be sitting in laps. New this year, experience the beauty of Smith-Gilbert Gardens at the annual Egg Hunt on April 1 with a combo Bunny Breakfast/Egg Hunt ticket. The Egg Hunt is open to children up to nine years of age.

Enter TODAY if You Want to Compete in the O. Henry Pun-OffHello, pun intensive fans. This isn't really an episode of pun intensive, so much as an announcement of something. Pretty cool.[00:00:16] This podcast, pun intensive has teamed up with Austin's O. Henry Museum and Brush Square Museums Foundation, as well as the City of Austin's Parks and Rec Department and Fantastic Magic Camp to produce part two of the O. Henry Pun-Off 2020 Special Edition edition.[00:00:36] Now I want to be clear: Once life gets back to relative normal, everyone fully expects the festival atmosphere of the Mother's Day Weekend event everyone has come to know and love as the O Henry Pun-Off to resume in its original format live and in Austin. But for now, the city has asked us to produce a virtual, but live Punslingers contest. And it's been split up into two distinct events based on the two contests regularly seen at The O Henry Pun-Off.[00:01:04] The Punniest of Show event has come and gone, but you can still watch it at punoff2020.com. [00:01:10] Congrats, by the way, to all of the contestants in the Pun-Off 2020's Punniest of Show competitions, including the top three placing winners. Jonah Spear, Gabriela Pedroza, and Sarah Bennett.[00:01:23] But . . . On November 21st . . . Less than three weeks from today . . . The O. Henry Pun-Off will be putting on a punslingers event entitled . . . and take a deep breath here . . . [00:01:35] "The O Henry Museum Pun-Off World Championships Punslingers Competition: Online Edition."[00:01:42] So head on over to punintensive.com to get all the info you need to attend the live event. But for you guys I also want you to go to punintensive.com so that you can enter the contest. [00:01:56] We already know that there be more people who want to enter than there will be space for, so as has been the case for several years, with the exception of some past years' winners who've already officially qualified to enter the 2020 competition, contestants will be selected by lottery. So get your name into that lottery by going to punintensive.com and clicking the "how to enter " link. Hopefully your name will be drawn.[00:02:23] We will see you soon with another full length episode and probably one or two reminders. Before then, but we definitely hope to see you on November 21st.[00:02:34]

At Home in Bloomington is all about community and our guest on Episode 7 knows a thing or two about that! The vision behind Talia Halliday’s brick and mortar store, Gather Shoppe, was to establish a community for people who create. With over 300 artists represented in the store and a variety of creative and thoughtful events like Crafternoons and Wellness Wednesdays, Gather partners with local businesses to provide a way for everyone to get involved. Talia has also been helping organize the Bloomington Handmade Market, a biannual event featuring thoughtfully chosen work from over 40 local and Midwestern artists since 2012. Celebrate local art, community and our amazing city with At Home in Bloomington!In our Facebook Follow segment we recognize the Bloomington Parks and Recreation department who won the 2018 Gold Medal Award for Best Parks and Rec Department in the country and encourage you to follow them on Facebook to stay updated on so many awesome activities. And in our REAL-List segment, Deb Gives us a pep talk and helpful advice on what to do if you get turned down for a mortgage. BIO: Just about 10 years ago Talia Halliday created Conduit Press out of the dining room of her home while her newborn baby slept in a ring sling attached to her hip. Since then she's grown Conduit Press into a multi-faceted arts business that sells handmade bespoke leather journals and leather bags to shops and boutiques across the globe. In that same time frame, Talia found her strength in her handmade community and became an organizer behind the Bloomington Handmade Market - a DIY fueled, indie craft show featuring handmade and contemporary arts and crafts that celebrates TEN years this holiday season! Being the multi-tasker that she is, and never being able to sit idle for a minute, Talia also has grown Gather - a handmade brick and mortar shop representing many of the same artists from the Market (and her own work from Conduit Press) into a downtown retail institution in Bloomington; a wonderful one of a kind place to find all the gifts and special items you might need in your life. What's next for Talia - who knows, but we can bet she has something up her sleeve.
