AUGUST 2008 -
SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL HEROES:
We applaud the
Triangle's hometown 3-Time National Champion Jump-roping Extraordinaire Bouncing
Bulldogs!
The Bouncing Bulldogs are PERFORMING
AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES in CHINA.
(They have also performed in Japan, South Africa, and Australia in prior
years.) Along with AMAZING jump-roping feats and physical
endurance, Coach Fredrick guides the children in mastering the
fundamentals of perseverance, self-discipline, and respect. The
Bouncing Bulldogs are a joy to watch and Coach Fredrick and his team are
an inspiration. Learn more about the Bouncing Bulldogs after
school jump-roping classes, summer camps, and team at www.bouncingbulldogs.org.
WOWEE! The ORGANIC BLUEBERRIES
are DELICIOUS and in abundance at our favorite pick-your-own blueberry
patches in Hillsborough. (We went picking on the weekend of August
10th). Pick at Nice Berries or Philoxenia (formerly Blueberry
Hill). Directions: Located 11 miles north of Hillsborough on Hwy
86. Look for the Blueberry Picking sign.
