Why I love small town newspapers...

I'm pretty sure these speak for themselves, but I'll give just a bit of commentary. I imagine that Miss Mabel sat between her tomato plant and her phone just waiting for the moment her first tomato ripened, so she could call the paper and be declared the winner. Also note, Miss Mabel and her ripe tomato made it on the front page of the newspaper albeit below the fold, but still... The front page.

The second picture speaks for itself. Yes, that is a current news item. I do not make these things up.
