The Common Ground

The fair really made me happy for where Barkwheats is right now, and very excited for where we are going in the future.

Common Ground Country Fair
Today we finish up our biscuits for the Common Ground Fair. We've been working around the clock to get ready for it, and now it's all wrapping up!

As per Monique's request for dialog on the forum, I am posting links to 3 bills. I'll admit to being unclear as to what some of the reporting language means. OTP means Ought to Pass, ONTP means ought not to pass, AM is amendments, and I am going to venture a guess that Divided Report means it was split down the middle.LD 475…See More
