Inside was atom-splitting fun as Table Talk took a quantum leap under the red and white roof. Squeals of glee burst forth from delighted shoppers who bounced between the tables like heated molecules. A mysterious fruck-vendor appeared to be thrust out with a sonic boom at his last sale of com. Who was that guy? An increasing stream of market- goers ended the day with a big bang. New to the season's current harvest included Savannah and Rattlesnake pole beans, Black Beauty eggplant, cowhom pep pers, green and red tomatoes, red and yellow cherry tomatoes, Santa Rosa and medley plums, peaches, cantaloupe (Plato’s favorite), watermelon, sage, dill, oregano and Italian parsley.

FARMERS’ FEEDBACK Calvin and Meashell Cosson, Comer residents and area busi ness owners, made a pit stop with a flat bed trailer full of peaches and tomatoes. These enterprising busy bees could run circles around warp speed. When Calvin’s not running three granite trucks, he’s hauling dirt, sand or gravel in a dump truck.

Here’s what one homeschooling mother said about ACS: “After homeschooling for 4 years, my three oldest children began attending ACS.

ACS is a blessing to my entire family. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted with how much my children liked school at Athens Christian School.” If the Lord is leading you to take a different direction with your child’s education, ACS would be honored to serve you.
