Watermelon Seed Spitting at Aubrey’s Sesquicentennial Celebration
By Jim Manning | Aubrey
Downtown Aubrey was alive with its 150 year celebration. The morning started with a parade and followed with a day full of activities.

This gave the feel of a real country fair event from way back. The one-man band was entertaining and nice to listen to. Jackie Fuller of the Aubrey…Read More
