8. Your nephew once won the Jr. Tractor Pull
9. You can charge at the "IGA"

11. School gets cancelled for opening day of hunting season

A lot of those examples fit Millington. Particularly the tractor stuff. Nice post.
Loved this Skoie! It made me miss everyone and everything even more. :(
Is there a family, besides the Cassidy's, who has legitimately held the Frog Jumping for more than 5 years?
Classic post.
