Second Saturday is coming back to Hamilton starting in June and under new management. Previously operated by Cheryl Rees, retired high school teacher and owner of Boutique on the Square in Hamilton, Second Saturday had achieved a faithful following of both vendors and customers.

Before proceeding, last week I received an email that in the subject line contained the words “truth in advertising”. Like most of you, I am bombarded with spam and delete all of it before looking at real email messages.

Be sure you’re here next week. Next week’s column is going to be one of the most special I’ve ever produced, because it celebrates something I never thought would happen. No, I won’t share any hints beyond those, but whatever you do, don’t miss next week’s installment of “Did You Know ...?” because it’s going to be a very special one, one that took over nine years to create. Be here. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.
Readers of my column knows that I love to keep up with the news and with the weird news. UPI has reported some pretty interesting stories of late. Here are a few you might find interesting.
