In this week's edition of the Shopper, check out our front page story first for the schedule for this week's Hunt County Fair. For a less, uh, condensed version, check out page 7 of this week's Shopper. There are only three days left as of today, and the Fair offers something for the entire family. Featured this week will be performances by artists Jonathan Jeter, LuAnn Petty, Matt Koger and Ray Wylie Hubbard, as well as food, fun, rides, and, of course, lots of cows. Page 4 also features an ad for Pippin's Propane Gas, offering special prices on propane, and advertising their fair booth, where fairgoers can register to win a grill, free propane, a fish fryer and other exciting items!
Looking for more kid-friendly summer fun? Check out page 11 for a listing of Vacation Bible Schools at local churches. Sign your brood up for one of all of them - just don't miss out on this opportunity for your children to have fun, garner Biblical knowledge and eat a free snack, while you run errands, have brunch with a friend, or, better yet, take a nap!
We know it's hot, but, still, enjoy the summer, Hunt County! It only comes once a year... for about 6 months...

May 23rd Edition: It's Almost Memorial Day!
Memorial day is nearly upon us, and it's reflected in this week's edition of the Shopper, with loads of advertisers offering specials over the weekend. Our front page story tries to unravel the twisted history of the holiday, the origins of which many US cities and towns lay claim to. We may never really know where and how the Memorial Day tradition first originated, but we do know that it was begun in earnest on May 5th of 1868 by General John Logan, National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Over time, the holiday has become a highlight of the American summer, and, since many employers give their staff the day off, the words "Memorial Day" often conjure up images of grilling and spending time with family and friends. The original intent of the holiday, of course, was to honor fallen soldiers, and a resolution was passed in 2000 that 3pm on Memorial Day be a time set aside for all Americans to "Voluntarily and informally observe, in their own way, a moment of remembrance and respect." So, on Monday afternoon, we suggest you set aside a few moments, put down your Cold One and turn your thoughts toward those who have died in the service of our government. The Shopper will be doing the same, since we'll be closed in observance of Memorial Day on Monday, moving our normal deadline back to Friday, May 25th, at noon.
We wish all our readers and advertisers a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend, from the Shopper family to yours!

May 16th Edition Highlights
This week, residents of Hunt County are gearing up for an all-nighter, but it won't be because they're studying for finals or dancing 'til dawn (which you probably already knew, considering the quality of the night life in this area). Rather, they'll be helping cancer patients and survivors, as well as supporting the ongoing effort to find a cure. That's because it's time for Hunt County's Relay for Life event, which will be taking place this Friday and Saturday, May 18th and 19th, from 7pm to 7am, as a reminder that "cancer never sleeps". The Relay will be held at the T.A. "Cotton" Ford Stadium at Greenville High School, and Hunt County residents have already raised nearly $100,000 to support cancer research and improve the quality of the lives of cancer patients and survivors. To sign up, or to donate, visit Hunt County's Relay for Life online, and check out the front page of this week's Shopper for more information.

May 2nd Edition Highlights
In this week's Shopper, we're gearing up for not one, but two wholesome activities: Observances of the National Day of Prayer, and DrugFree Greenville's annual Walkathon.
The National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 3rd, and it's a great opportunity to connect with your neighbors of all faiths as they pray for our nation. This week's Shopper has two local events listed where you can supplicate the Powers That Be for peace, prosperity, or any other bullet point on your political agenda.
In Greenville, observers of the Holiday plan to meet at the north side of the Hunt County Courthouse on Thursday at noon. In Lone Oak, the Day of Prayer will be celebrated on Thursday at 6:30pm at the Lone Oak Civic Center.

DrugFree Greenville's Walkathon and Fiesta After the Walk are also taking place this week, on Saturday, May 5th. Registration for the Walkathon begins at 8am, and begins at 9am. After the four-mile Walk, the Fiesta After the Walk begins. All are invited to enjoy, food, fun and live entertainment in Greenville's downtown area. For more information, visit DrugFree Greenville online.
Need to hold a garage sale before it gets too hot? Have unused items sitting around that could be helping you collect a little extra cash, instead? Need something but don't know who to ask? Advertise it in the Hunt County Shopper! We print over 30,000 papers each week, with advertisers touting everything from chickens to Escalades.

April 25th Edition: Celebrate Spring With Your Four-Legged BFF!
This weekend, pack up your family's cutest member (or members) and head head for an outdoor festival where pets are not only allowed - they're honored guests!
Greenville's annual Backstreet Bash is set to take place on Saturday, April 28th, and will feature a wide range of attractions: live music all day, arts and crafts, the much-anticipated "Backstreet Bargains", Greenville's biggest garage sale of the year, and a crawfish boil, among many other things. But one of the most special things about the Bash is the "Backstreet Bark", a convergence of events and attractions centered on that most-beloved of all family pets, the dog. No hard feelings toward cats and other various non-human family members, though - other pets are encouraged to bring their owners to the Bark, as well.
The Backstreet Bark will kick off at 9am, with the Hot Diggity Dog Jog for Canine Cancer, sponsored by Greenville's own Turtle Creek Veterinary Center. Humans are required to pay an entry fee to participate, which will be donated to the Morris Animal Foundation's Canine Cancer Campaign, an effort to promote awareness and find a cure for canine cancer. Dogs, however, will be allowed to enter the one-mile jog for free. Pre-register online here! Joggers can also register on-site, beginning at 8am on Saturday.
Also featured in the Backstreet Bark will be the Strut Your Mutt pet talent contest at 10am, Weenie Dog Races at noon, a Pet/Owner Look-A-Like Contest, a Doghouse-Building Competition, pet immunizations from 10am until noon provided by Turtle Creek Veterinary Center (microchip service will also be available all day, upon request), pet photography, a petting zoo, appearances by a dog trainer, the GPD's K-9 Unit, McGruff the Crime Dog, and much more!
To learn more about the Backstreet Bark, as well as the rest of Backstreet Bash's attractions, visit the City of Greenville online, or request additional information by sending an email to hotdiggity@turtlecreekvmc.com.
Interested in helping down-on-their-luck animals? Check out Lucky Duck Horse & Farm Animal Rescue. This non-profit organization rescues, rehabilitates and finds homes for animals of all kinds. The Farm is always looking for volunteers, donations (Money is great, but they are also always in need of hay, and are currently also seeking fencing supplies, so they can open more pasture to their rescued donkeys.) and forever homes for rehabilitated animals.

April 11th Edition: Spring is Sprung!
Get in gear for spring (and, as it usually happens in Texas, a closely-following summer) with this week's Hunt County Shopper, where you can get connected to local events, take a trip back in Hunt County's history and, as always, find a smattering of great bargains.
On our front page story, as well as page 8, we've featured Ford's Drive One 4 Ur School, an event that benefits Caddo Mills ISD. On April 14th, from 9am to 4pm on the Caddo Mills High School Stadium, a lineup of new Ford cars will be available for test drives. For each car test-driven, $20 will be donated to Caddo Mills ISD - up to $6,000! Even if you don't have a drivers license, you'll still be able to have a good time. There will be concessions, live bands, entertainment, face-painting, antique Fords on display, goodie bags, drawings for multiple prizes, and on-site rock chip repair from Richardson Auto Glass at a discounted price. So get out of the house this Saturday, connect with your neighbors, and help make your community a better place! Bet you never thought you'd accomplish all that by driving a Ford.
Turn to page 6 of this week's Shopper, and you'll take a trip back in time to the foundation of Hunt County itself, on April 11th, 1846. Perhaps one of the most interesting facets of Hunt County's history is that it has played host to seven different courthouses, each in Greenville, the County's seat. The incarnations of the County Courthouse have been varied, beginning as a log building and graduating to the building that still stands today, which was built in 1929. In the words of Judge T.J. Oneal on the day of its dedication, it was "The most beautiful and best court house in this great state."
With warmer weather also comes garage sale bargains, and you'll find multiple ones in Greenville, Caddo Mills, Weiland and Campbell in this week's paper. Visit one, or stop by them all, and turn another person's trash into your treasure!

April 4th Edition: Happy Easter!
This week's Shopper is our Easter edition, and we have several features and ads looking toward the event. On page 12, check out a comprehensive listing of area churches by town to help you decide where to observe the holiday this Sunday. Looking for more than a sermon? Check out this listing of local Easter Egg Hunts, available only on our blog!
Greenville Chrysler will be hosting a "Huge Easter Egg Hunt", as promised in its ad on page 14 of this week's Shopper. The Hunt will take place on Saturday, at 11am, at the Dealership.
The City of Greenville will also host a Hunt - its annual "Easter Eggstravaganza" will take place on Saturday, beginning at 9:30am. There will be over 15,000 eggs, and hunters will be divided into age groups, with ages 0-3 hunting at 10am, and ages 4-11 hunting at 10:15. Hunting bags will be supplied by Hunt Regional Medical Center, and there will also be face painting, spring pictures by Walgreens and an appearance by the Easter Bunny. The Eggstravaganza will be held at the Greenville SportsPark. For more information, click here!
In Caddo Mills, New Life Church's Covenant Ranch is also hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, for kids ages 0-12. The Ranch is located on FM 36, between I-30 and FM 1903. A map can be found here.

Shortly thereafter, the West Tawakoni Police & Fire Department will host a Hunt from 1-3pm, for kids ages 1-12. If you're in the area, that means you can attend both hunts! Unless your child is 0.

Here at the Shopper, we hope our entire community enjoys the Easter holiday, however they choose to celebrate it. Whether you're attending a service, gathering eggs, sitting an unwilling child on the lap of a man in a rabbit costume or just pausing to spend time with your family, we hope your Easter Sunday is a pleasant one.

March 21st Edition HIghlights
This past weekend's sunshine quickly dissipated, with Monday ushering in heavy rain (as if Mondays weren't bad enough) and flooding. But we're wading through Hunt County's bad weather to bring you this week's edition of the Shopper, and this week's front page story looks forward to balmier days and outdoor activities in anticipation of this year's Keep Greenville Beautiful Home & Garden Show.
Scheduled for Saturday, March 24th, the Home & Garden Show will feature $1 hot dogs provided by Habitat for Humanity, a silent auction, and a coloring contest for the kids, a drawing for a Kindle Fire, plus many booths representing area businesses. In the parking lot, Keep Greenville Beautiful will be recycling most electronic devices for free from 10am to 1pm, and shredding up to 3 file boxes of paper per vehicle for free from 10am to 2pm.
For other upcoming community events, look inside this week's Shopper - after you use it as an umbrella.

March 14th Edition Highlights
It might be a rainy day today, but cheer yourself up with plans for an activity-filled weekend in Hunt County, starting with the Annual Golden K Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast this Saturday morning, March 17th. We know, Saturday still seems a long way off on a Tuesday, but just imagine the taste of buttery, syrupy pancakes with a side of sausage patties and your choice of juice or coffee, and your mood might improve a little. Now imagine that the meal will taste even better for only $5, all of which will benefit local charities, and you'll have painted an accurate mental picture of the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast. It starts at 7am and ends at 1pm, and will take place at Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Greenville.
And while rain might be forecasted for the next few days, the weekend brings with it promises of sunshine and warm temperatures (well, at least for now...). And with warm, sunny weekends come garage sale bargains. This weekend, check out garage, estate, yard and moving sales, AND flea markets, all listen in this week's Shopper: eleven of them, to be exact. The dates and locations of each sale are listed on page 3, and the details of the individual sales themselves are scattered throughout the paper. Happy hunting!

This week's blog is being drafted a bit later than usual, due to the absence of our in-house blogger earlier in the week, whose infant son is not interested in her perceived need to attend work in order to secure income for the family. But, anyway. This week's front page story! It's about our annual Drug-Free Coloring Contest. Each week, the Shopper features a different picture with an anti-drug message for the kids to apply their creative filling-in skills to. The Drug-Free Coloring Contest is part of the Shopper's initiative to keep our community drug-free, along with our support of other programs, such as the DrugFree Greenville Red Ribbon Celebration and Greenville ISD's Project Graduation. The winners of the Drug-Free Coloring Contest will receive prizes as a reward for their diligence and precocious artistic ability. Don't forget to encourage your child to foster his creativity and absorb an important message about the dangers of recreational drug use when you receive your copy of this week's Shopper!

February 29th Edition HIghlights
Happy Leap Day, Hunt County! Winter weather is finally beginning to give way to warmer temperatures this week, and the change is reflected in an uptick in community events listed in this week's Shopper.
On the front page, we herald the second annual incarnation of the Lake Tawakoni Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Business Expo. This year’s Expo is set to take place on Saturday, March 3rd, from 10am – 3pm at the Ford High School in Quinlan. Over 40 local businesses will be represented, with attractions for Expo-goers of all ages: a bounce house and face-painting for the kids, classic cars on display, a mobile pet adoption unit, pancakes from IHOP and even an opportunity for procrastinators to file their taxes. For more information, visit the LTRCC’s website.
Page three features our weekly garage sale listing, which continues to grow longer as the days grow warmer and more hospitable to bargain-hunters. This week, check out opportunities to turn another person’s trash into your treasure in Greenville and Caddo Mills.
If you’re looking for even bigger bargains this weekend, turn to pages 8-9 of this week’s Shopper to check out an ad for an estate sale by LD Loftis in Commerce, featuring a wide range of furniture and household items. On the opposite page, check out the ad for Noonday Tractor Auction, taking place this weekend in Flint, Texas. With over 250 tractors, backhoes, dozers, skid loaders, lawn mowers, 4-wheelers, RTVs, trucks and trailers to be auctioned off, anyone in the market is sure to find a bargain. Check out their website for more details!
If you’re in the market for something a little more dangerous, check out an ad for the Gun & Knife Show on page 11. The Show will take place at Crossroads Mall in Greenville on Saturday and Sunday.
Last, but not least, don’t forget that next week is Texas Public School Week! After you’ve fantasized about firearms, glance downward on page 11 for a comprehensive list of events taking place at the public schools of Hunt County during the week of March 5-9. Most elementary and intermediate schools will host an open house, but many middle and high schools are participating, as well, and several schools are holding parent breakfasts and lunches, talent shows and more! Find out what’s going on at your local school – and much more – in this week’s Shopper.

Happy Valentine's Day, Hunt County! It seems a little strange for it to just now be Valentine's Day, since we've just completed our paper for the day after Valentine's Day, but the office is still abandoning its New Year's healthy eating resolutions for the afternoon, anyway.
Speaking of New Year's Resolutions: if you resolved to make a difference in the community this year (Or even if you didn't - because, really, don't you feel just a little bit guilty now that we mentioned it?), check out our front page story this week. We're helping to promote Project Graduation - an event held annually by Greenville High School that provides graduates with a drug and alcohol-free alternative to other, more dangerous graduation night celebrations. Of course, graduation is still some distance away, but, since Project Graduation relies entirely on donations by the community, they need your donations to help keep graduates out of trouble on graduation night. And the event works - about 90% of all GHS graduates take the substance-free pledge and attend Project Graduation. Click here to download this week's e-edition to find out how you can make a donation!

February 8th Edition Highlights
Valentine's Day is just a week away; do you know what you're getting for your sweetheart? You may be interested to know that this holiday hasn't always been the sparkly, diamond-encrusted celebration of monogamy that it is today. In fact, Valentine's Day may have began as the Luperci festival, a pagan holiday during which women entered their names into a drawing, and the man who chose a woman's name would be paired with her for the rest of the year. The festival was later sanitized for Christianity, and it eventually evolved into its modern-day incarnation. And while VD may be a cruel reminder of loneliness to single people and an expensive, stressful affair for partnered folks, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy taking advantage of a few good deals!
In this week's paper, Cavender's is advertising their sweetheart sale, where you can take advantage of price cuts on western wear. Shumardii's has specials for couples, from Friday, February 10th through Tuesday, the 14th. Clean As a Pin's ad features a Valentine's Day Special coupon that can be redeemed for 20% off your first cleaning. Awesome Blossom Florist in Quinlan is advertising arrangements of a dozen roses for $69.99, and chocolate-covered strawberries, $24.99 a dozen. There are plenty of other Valentine's-themed ads in this week's edition, so pick up a copy of the Shopper to get in on more warm and fuzzy deals!

Two more days remain until Groundhog Day - will the divining rodent predict an early spring, or run back into his burrow to hide out for six more weeks of winter? We're not sure what will happen (and, truthfully, we're a little suspicious of anything, no matter how magical, that claims to be able to predict the weather in Texas), but we've traced the origins of Groundhog Day on the front page story of this week's paper, for your entertainment.
If you or someone you know is currently searching for a job (and that should pretty much encompass everyone, in this economy), check out page 3 of this week's paper for information on the Igloo Products Job Fair, taking place at the Greenville Civic Center this Saturday, from 10:30am until 2:30pm. You can also visit Igloo's website to get the whole story.
Whether you're looking forward to receiving your tax return or dreading the thought of paying in, it's officially tax season again, whether you like it or not. Check out two ads in this week's paper - Jackson Hewitt on page 2, offering refund anticipation loans, and Sandra's Tax Service on page 11, which promises to beat whatever you paid to have your taxes filed last year. Whichever venue you choose, make sure you tell them that you saw it in the Hunt County Shopper!

January 25th Edition Highlights
It's almost February, which means we're getting dangerously close to spring again in Texas. Get a head start on your spring cleaning with two events spotlighted in this week's edition of the Shopper!
This Saturday, January 28th, the City of Greenville and IES will host a city-wide cleanup for citizens of Greenville from 8am to 2pm. The event will take place at the IESI facility, at 4618 Ed Rutherford Drive in Greenville, and proof of residency within the city will be required in the form of a bill, tax statement or drivers license. Items that will be accepted include: household trash, furniture, tires, construction materials, washers and dryers, stoves, ovens and ranges, microwaves, computers and monitors. Items that will not be accepted include: paint, chemicals, automotive batteries, pesticides, air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. Find more information about the event, and get rid of items not accepted at the Cleanup, here.
If it's your marriage that needs a spring cleaning, the Greenville YMCA will be hosting a seminar that will clear the cobwebs out of your relationship. The Love & Laughter Marriage Getaway is slated to take place on January 27th and 28th at the Greenville Municipal Auditorium. The Getaway features authors and speakers Dr. Gary Smalley and Ted Cunningham, who promise to impart to frustrated couples the secrets that will help them achieve good communication, maintain familial closeness and, perhaps most importantly, balance expectations with reality. For more information, or to register, visit the Greenville YMCA online.
If the idea of an entire home or marital overhaul sounds a little overwhelming to you, check out page 12 of this week's shopper, which outlines several ways to stir up a little romance on Valentine's Day (yes, that's also coming up). The theme is simple: just think hearts. Here are a few ideas: make a heart-shaped pizza, cut your kitchen sponges into heart shapes, carve a heart with your initials in a tree, make heart-shaped place mats, draw a heart on the mirror with lipstick... you get it. Hey, when else will you be appreciated for being this uncreative?

January 11th Edition Highlights
It's a wet, gray afternoon in Hunt County, but we've just published another week's installment of the Hunt County Shopper, so there's still at least one reason to celebrate, despite the depressing weather.
Let's take a quick look at this week's edition, starting with the front page. January is National Blood Donor Month, and our front page story has tips from the Red Cross for successful blood donation. There's plenty of practical advice, like eating iron-rich foods, drinking plenty of fluids and getting lots of sleep the night before you donate. In addition, the Red Cross suggests that, after giving blood, donors take time to enjoy a snack and the good feeling that comes with knowing that they've saved as many as three lives. To find out how you can feel good and get a free snack, visit the Red Cross online to find out when and where to give blood!
Page six has another suggestion for helping disadvantaged members of the community - when you think about showing support to veterans, one of the last places you might think to look is in local nursing homes. The fact is, however, that there are many veterans in nursing homes, many of whom are living far from their families and do not receive many visitors. Resolve to give the gift of your time to a veteran in a nursing home this year!
On page eight, check out information about Girl Scout Cookies - that's right, it's almost Cookie Time! To find out when and where you can support your local Girl Scout troop by purchasing delicious cookies this year, visit TexasCookieTime.com!
If you've ever wondered how the Hunt County Shopper stacks up to the competition, page 10 has the answers! Check out comprehensive graphs that show how our rates and coverage compare to those of other area papers, and discover why we really do reach more people for less cost.

January 4th Edition Highlights
The new year is finally here, and, with our resident blogger back from maternity leave, we're once again able to provide you with your weekly update - before the Shopper hits the streets.
It's the time of year for positive life changes - but how can you be sure that you'll actually carry out your resolutions through the rest of the year? Our front page story has a few psychologist-certified tips and tricks. First, according to psychologist Roy Baumeister of Florida State University, it's important to keep your brain in shape. If you think of your brain as a muscle, keeping it fed and well-rested, you'll be able to utilize the region that controls willpower more easily. It's also a good idea to limit yourself to focusing on one resolution at a time, and to make specific goals, like saying "I will cut back on my sugar consumption by cutting soda out of my diet." Rather than "I will eat less sugar."
Researchers also agree that the most successful resolutions belong to those who are able to get back up when they fall down. The key is not necessarily to succeed initially, but to keep trying, even after making mistakes. Another way to ensure that your resolution will be successful is to find substitutes for the things you're giving up. For instance, if you resolve to drink less, you should also resolve to enjoy another relaxing ritual before bed, like reading a book or taking a bath. Finally, according to University of Scranton John Norcross, it's important to remind yourself that it's not a race. Norcross says that most of us tend to overestimate how much we can accomplish in the short run, and overestimate how much we can accomplish in the long run. Making small changes and taking it slow can ultimately have a huge impact, if we just stick with it.
