During Saturdayâs monthly Trade Day, a small crowd gathered outside of Variety Bake Shop to watch the Downtown Donut Derby, an event held to commemorate this monthâs theme called Sweet Summer on the Square.
The contest would hold two rounds: one for kids and one for adults. Both rounds would be two minutes long and prizes would be handed out to the top three in each round. The winner would receive $50 cash, second and third place would receive gift certificates to the Variety Bake Shop for $25 and $15.
The winners of the contest were seven-year-old Judah Reed for the kidâs heat with three donuts and William Holland for the adults, who ate seven donuts in two minutes.
5. Old Midsummer’s Day (July 5)
Back in the days of the ‘Open Field System’ it was necessary to ensure that everyone was treated fairly with an equal chance of acquiring decent strips and naff strips of land. We know that a bizarre method of parcelling out the strips persisted in Congresbury and Puxton on the Saturday preceding Old Midsummer’s until 1811 which involved tattooed apples (e.g. one bearing a ‘dung fork’) being extracted from a hat or bag (a bit like the FA Cup draw) and said apples determining the strips you got. I particularly like that the serious business of the day was followed by ‘hearty mirth’. Oh yes.

As homeowners look for beautiful and safe ways to update their fixtures, copper is more popular than ever. Christine Lennon – April 28, 2021 | Updated May 12, 2021

You can trace the use of copper to store and transport water back to ancient Egypt, roughly 2500 B.C. For thousands of years, weâve known that the metal is durable, easy to work with, and has anti-microbial properties. Copper cisterns and pipes kept people from getting sick. Itâs a âliving surfaceâ that repels and kills bacteria, and contemporary studies have confirmed that copper, when used to coat metal hospital bed frames, or handrails in theme parks and public places, can reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
