I’m sorry Pinky didn’t make it..I wanted to see Slapout..
Yeah, but she’s going to be a success anyway.
Slapout is doing a parade tomorrow which is a combination of two events. The annual fundraiser for the volunteer fire department is tomorrow so they are going to add a parade for her along with that. I so want to go but I have another commitment.

It tickles me in the article when it says “downtown Slapout” because there is NO downtown Slapout...lol Basically it has “The Boys Store” (used to have a Girl’s Store across the road), a pizza place, a new Mexican food place and some other tiny small businesses...and that’s about it! Don’t feel too sorry for her though because I think she lives on the lake and those are very nice homes on a very nice lake.
Those of us that love living in Elmore County call ourselves “El Morons”. That’s one thing about the south, we know how to make fun of ourselves and hardly ever take anything too seriously.
I heard that a bigger event for her will be in Wetumpka soon and if so I hope to go to that one. Wetumpka is home to Tea Partier Becky Gerritson who gave the wonderful testimony to Congress about the IRS...and it’s my home also!
If you are a fan of Jess (and I know some aren’t) you should check out her twitter account and see some of the wonderful artwork she has done. Some of it is a little bizarre (hey it’s Jess) but most is very beautiful. She is a talented artist as well as a talented singer!
