Irmo SC Okra = Yuck

Attention: Anyone who has never tried okra. Consume at your own risk!

I first tried the slimey stuff back in the '70s and knew right away I didn't require a second opinion. But for some reason a few years ago I had a weak moment and tried it again. Bad move. It was just as disgusting.

There seems to be no middle ground with okra....love it or hate it. No one will ever tell you "It's alright".

This Saturday the Irmese of Irmo will kick off the annual Okra Strut, which began as a spoof by a radio DJ in 1973.

Today the festival is managed by the board of commissioners appointed by the Irmo Town Council and are proud to say, "we are the nation's original celebration of Okra." The festival is now a two day event featuring a street dance, parade, arts and crafts, rides and amusements, petting zoo, and lots of festival food. Attendance for the celebration is estimated at 55,000 annually.

Money raised by the festival is put back into the community through civic and school organizations, scholarships and improvements of public areas.

Not bad for a slimey little critter grown in the red clay of Lexington County.

Hopkins SC

Yesterday I had Palmetto Tree Service come to my place to remove a couple of large trees that were growing near the house.

We found these 2 sisters and a brother that had been hiding in a nest about 25 feet up. Fortunately they all seemed unharmed from the fall.

None of them had their eyes open yet and one of the guys said he would take them home and feed them baby formula from an eye dropper. He has done this in the past and he said that after about 2 weeks they would be ready to turn loose. I wish them well.
