From over the Hill
. . .

April 14, 2012


You might as well accept that this next week will be a busy one. At least it will take your mind off having just paid your property taxes and income taxes!

The whole week (April 16th to April 21st) is 'Scott Valley Clean-up Week'. You can find all the information you need to know (or listen to the podcast which tells the news) at Serena Travis's Good Morning Scott Valley site.

You all know by now that I am big on 'Shop Local', 'Support Local Musicians and Artisans' and 'Preserve the Historic ' . . . and you can accomplish all of those and have a fabulous time doing it!

Here you go . . .
the total package
. . .
invite family and friends
to join you . . .

Hopefully you already have your tickets for the Big Band Fun Concert Thursday night, April 19th, at the historic Avery Theatre in Etna. If not, then you better hightail it over to Premier West Bank in Greenview; Scott Valley Drug in Etna or Scott Valley Bank in Etna or Ft. Jones and get your tickets ($6 advance) as we expect to be sold out come show-time.


Then . . . on Saturday, April 21st . . .

Begin at Scott Valley Feed
in Greenview (or Yreka)
for Springtime festivities. . .

 

 

Go home and take a nap, then head over to the Coffee Concert at the Ft. Jones Community Center for music and refreshments, where proceeds benefit the historic
Ft. Jones Methodist Church
.

Local Musicians performing will be:

Members of The Wednesday Night Band
Bobbi & Joe Miles
Clint McBroom ('Mr. Fiddle')
Josie Austin & friends
Susan Houg
Marge Troutman
Harriet Rivallier
The Maplesdens (Larry, Bonnie, Caleb)

The Ft. Jones Church built in 1873, has been used as a Methodist Church for 139 years. The historic white church sits at the top of Sterling Street, above the Post Office. As you well know, anywhere that has been used for Fellowship for that many years has a special feel to it.

Having a Methodist Episcopal Church in northern Scott Valley was conceived by individuals who contributed funds to begin building this church. Among them were A.J. Goodnoe, A.B Carlock, J.A. Davidson, Rev. I. Reynolds, J.K. Luttrell, Geo. E. Evans, and many others. The church was dedicated on June 24, 1874. The cost was $1,600, half of which was donated throughout the construction, and $500 more raised at the dedication, with $330 still due at that time.

Over time, there have been many baptisms, marriages, celebrations, and funerals held in the little church. For this historic Church to continue to be
a presence in Fort Jones, our support is needed.


If you have ever been to their previous Fund-raisers, Dessert Auctions or the Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival, then you KNOW the pies the 'Church Ladies' make are outstanding.

See you there . . .


In joy!
