  1. I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about finding information on the Brookville Park Association? I have tried the historic society, the chamber of commerce and googling it and nobody seems to know anything. I found an old stock certificate for  3 shares in this association and Would like to know more about it. Thanks for any info

  4. Every year I plant brussel sprouts andnothing botheres them. This year something has eatenoff just the tops, not the baby sprouts, of the plants. Will the sprouts still grow the way they should or are they done? I know  from what I have read that the top leaves act like an umbrella and keep the sun off of them. Thats why you pull off the lower leaves so they can grow. I thought that the deer got them but there are no foot prints. And the wind pushed my corn over. At least we have tators and green beans so far. We won't discuss the carrots.

  5. I have used just the Fels to scrub all kinds of stuff. They made my cloth kitchen chairs look like new again. I used a brush some water and a bar of Fels and then used a clean wet cloth to kind of dry them.

  6. I got mine at Bilo in Brookville for 1.39. The floor manager said that he had to start stocking the ingredients again baecause the amish were looking for it too. so if a store near you doesn't have the stuff maybe they will order them for you. I know the store I generally buy groceries at will. I just have to ask them.

  7. Although I haven't made the home made laundry soap yet, I did get the stuff. I needed to recover my ktchen chairs and one day I was using some of the Fels I got to clean a spot on the carpet. I dump the container of water I was using on the chair. It came out as good as new (after it took two days to dry out) So today I thought I'd try again. I have a tile table with grout that no cleaner even grout cleaner would touch. I took a bar of Fels and ran it along the seam and used a brush on it. You could actually see the stains and stuff dissolve. The table looks like new again.   ;D 1.39 a bar best investment I've made in a long time. I even used it on my oak cupboard doors. worked like a charm. Goes to show you, you don't need a bunch of expensive stuff to clean with. Has anyone tried the laundry soap in a rug scrubber? I know it takes out spots that's been there forever.

  8. Don't know about shooting or trapping but we put moth balls around the outside of the garden and it keeps the critters out.Or marigolds work too cause they stink. Just don't put the moth balls around the plants. I saw this on a gardening show. If you do catch and release be careful they can be mean little  buggers
