Those amazing green beans that are on all of the China buffets in the area? Well, we had a Chinese evening the other night and I really wanted those green beans! So, I made up a recipe and they were super delicious! Salty, sweet and garlicky and pretty similar!
O’Brien Stromsodt and Piper Sondreal assisted Tammy and Husky Johnson who were in charge of filling the Goose Drop squares. Winners were recipients of $500 for both Friday and Saturday “Droppings.”
The roar of engines, the smell of exhaust... the competition is fast and furious at the Goose Festival Darryl Jarshaw Memorial Tractor Pull. More tractor pull on Page 5.
Some time ago I discovered the first Gray family member that came to America. His name was George Gray and he was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1625. He died in Hancock County, Maine. His parents were James Gray and Alison Gifert Gray. James was born in February 1606 in Edinburg, Midiothian Scotland and was the son of John and Barbara Sanderson Gray. George was a prisoner in the Battle of Dunbar and he was shipped to America on a ship called Unity in 1651. A sign on the ship advertised "Scots for Sale." He then became an indentured servant and provided cheap labor. He spend eight years as such. He eventually was able to get a grant for a parcel of land in Maine. There are those in the Gray family who still own this land. It is located in Hancock County, Maine. There were Scottish settlers who worked on the project of separating Maine from Massachusetts. This information comes from the New England Historical Society and is accurate to my knowledge. It blends in with relatives I found on the east coast - one I have never met - yet! An interesting thing is that on the DNA information, it tells me I am only 1% Scottish. John Gray was from Skibo Castle in Scotland. The Norwegian and German side has drown out the Scottish!
