I truly enjoyed the first issue of Discovering Southside. It was sincere, humorous and enlightening.
Loved it. All of it. Made me think, made me laugh and just about made me cry. The article of the kids doing the 30 hour fast for children dying of hunger was very touching.

Are there any fall festivals with fresh apple butter making and fried apple pies planned?
