M Ted,

The hick schtick might work in most of West Virginin, but don't try it in Shepherdstown.

Washington Post Magazine designated Shepherdstown as the "Smartest small town" within a 100 mile radius of the Washington Monument, with the highest percentage of people with college degrees (54%).

This is an events town. Events is what we do here. There are many able promoters here in town who do a fine job of promoting and succesfully holding events. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. I have good connections, though.
