County Market

County Market at 24th & Spring in Quincy will be hosting the Annual United Way of Adams County Breakfast in their parking lot tomorrow morning from 7:30 to 11a.  This all you can eat pancakes and sausage event is free but donations will be accepted.

Restaurant Days for August are now history with 31 area restaurants donating a portion of their receipts to the United Way of Adams County on their selected day. With that campaign completed the next event for the public to help out is the Annual United Way Pancake and Sausage Breakfast on Saturday,September 14, at the 24th & Spring County Market in Quincy.

The Carson & Barnes Circus, the World's Biggest Big-Top Show, is coming to Quincy this Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the Quincy Mall with show times at 2 and 5 p.m. each day.

I will be involved this Saturday, along with Dennis Oliver, in the 3rd Annual Wild Game Cook Off at the Ridge View Winery in Mt. Sterling, Illinois.  They will be cooking things like Squirrel in a Crock Pot, Beaver Burgers, Elk Roast, Turtle Stew, Deer Sausage, and God knows what else. It got me to thinking about the Pioneer days when people actually ate those foods on a daily basis.
