It's the day after the Fourth of July, and the Hunt County Shopper staff has recovered, for the most part, from our respective holiday celebrations. Today, our July 7th edition is printed and being prepared for distribution, and we are looking forward to the rest of the sweltering month of July!
If you didn't get enough fireworks and fun in during the long weekend, head to Leonard on July 13-16 for the Annual Leonard Picnic! A more-than-hundred-years-old tradition in the Leonard community, the picnic will feature a classic car show, breakfast on the square, a parade, Fireman's Bar-B-Que, a dessert auction benefiting the Leonard Preservation League, live music, fireworks, a carnival, Children's Beauty Pageant, and more fun activities for the whole family. For more information, visit the Leonard Chamber of Commerce's website.
Also in this week's paper, check out our summer energy-saving tips on the front page. Electricity bills during the summer months can break the bank, so utilize a few little-known tricks to keep them as low as possible, like washing dishes in the dishwasher instead of by hand, cooking in the microwave and keeping your refrigerator well-stocked, so less cold air escapes when you open the door.
Of course, one of the best ways to save money is still to read the Hunt County Shopper to find bargains on everything you need - from livestock to the Sunday Buffet at Shumardii's Restaurant. We wouldn't be here without our readers or our advertisers, so thank you again for your continued patronage!
