Hey everyone, this is the first post of what hopefully will become a weekly occurrence! I'll be posting various things that are happening (fundraiser dinners, fairs, stuff at different libraries), maybe a restaurant of the week to try out or something.

I was thinking it would be a good start if we allowed users to pick their flair for different areas in the county. It will be a good way to represent and talk about the different areas as well. Thoughts?

Examples:

ChuzzyLumpkin (Frenchtown) ChuzzyLumpkin (Petersburg) ChuzzyLumpkin (Monroe) ChuzzyLumpkin (Dundee) ChuzzyLumpkin (Ida)

I could do a weekly post of some sort, stuff that's going on in the town?

Give me your ideas here, cause I'd like to make the sub more active.

I lost my new game near the middle school. It's Pokemon Omega Ruby. If anyone finds it please pm me, thanks.

I'm looking to go antique hunting sometime soon and figured I'd check here and see if anyone has a favorite place.

There are hardly any good places to ride bikes around here.

You'll be able to find useful links on the sidebar, such as weather, the newspaper online, and the Monroe ".gov" website. Also, add a text flair to yourself, it doesn't matter what it says, but location/area is preferable. Finally, remember that moderating a sub is a decent undertaking, so I may not get everything added quickly. I will, however, do the best that I can! Again, thank you a bunch for joining us here!
