Great Holiday Snack Idea! (So simple, an engineer can make it!)

I made this turkey-cranberry roll-up snack for the gift shop on Friday and again today.  Mary Ann and I saw the idea on TV.  They are easy to make and delicious!  The recipe is here.  Enjoy...

Host of Christmas Past -- 2010

This weekend, Fayetteville again hosted its annual "Host of Christmas Past."  This is a street festival held on and around our courthouse square to promote shopping in Fayetteville.  We have lots of boutique shops.  Mary Ann is involved with Fayetteville Main Street, the organization that sponsors the event.  Even though we are not "on the square," Ebabe's Gifts has a good turnout on the day of the celebration.  The "Host" celebration includes music, drama, free movies in our art deco theater, and lots of food vendors.  It also includes yours truly as a Town Crier.  Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment:
