The EG Chamber of Commerce’s final stroll of the summer was a resounding success, with hundreds and hundreds of people crowding the closed section of Main Street, restaurants with seemingly unending trays of samples, and several lively musical offerings. That’s the final stroll of the season. We’ll see you next year! (And thanks to Ray Johnson, who shared some of his always great photos with EG News.)

The brevity of Dodge’s text to Zane spoke volumes. Three words said it all. Zane had to be shocked, crestfallen and very pissed off about getting dumped. Once this blue-eyed beauty had thrown down the gauntlet to Mr. Zane “Loverboy” Wade it appears that he giddily had fallen for Siobahn Kelley on the quickstep, and he had to be taking this news very hard. Some people were just unlucky in love, and Zane perhaps was one of those people. When Dodge hit Zane back with his response, the only thing he could say was: call me if you need to anything. However, this was a brief yet loaded response that meant: I’m here, I have your back, and this isn’t the end of the world because women are like buses and they come by on a regular basis. Dodge Galbraith had much experience in getting the proverbial boot by a woman. There were worse things in life; much worse, and even though this must’ve stung Zane he had to now move forward, and it was a fait accompli that Dodge Kenworth Galbraith would be there for his friend.
