GRAVESITE PLUNDERED

The town guard is looking for information regarding the recent disinternment of a local man's body from the Yew cemetary. Jethro Mctavish had been buried three days prior, and there is no indication that the corpse had been defiled in any way. However, locals are convinced that the responsible party was looking for McTavish's coveted fried turkey recipe which he swore that he'd take to the grave with him. No additional leads have been pursued so far in the case.

Contest Reward Change

Posted by Bonnie Armstrong | 2012 Nov 13 21:40 -0500 GMT
Greetings everyone,

I wanted to give everyone a heads up that after further review of the reward items for the House decorating contest, I have changed the reward from a Snowman to a hued Reindeer with the text, “Winner of the 2012 Holiday House Decorating Contest”. The reason for the change was due to the fact the snowman was not fitting for such a contest as only the hat and scarf could be hued.
