Christmas in Hopelands! - 11/27/11 09:51 AM
Yesss!!!  It's just about here.  I was walking in Hopelands Gardens a few weeks ago with my great niece and we could see the transformation beginning! Over 100,000 lights will be strung throughout the gardens.  If you have never been - you have to go at least once..... driving by and looking just isn't the same as strolling down the garden paths, seeing the strings of lights twinkling, the old oak trees, hearing the music, sipping hot apple cider at the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame & Museum....

Got land? Want tax credit? - 11/09/11 10:37 AM
Got land?  Why not consider putting some or all of your land into a conservation easement?  It doesn't cost you anything - in fact, it puts money in your pocket with tax credits!!..but hurry, those credits may be ending soon!   But most importantly, it is protecting the land now and for generations to come.   We have only so much green space left on our planet - we need to take measures to keep it!!
