This Weekend in Blythewood June 7th, 8th and 9th It's a sure sign that summer's edging ever closer when the last school bell rings.  There are happy children AND teachers all over Blythewood this weekend so keep an eye out for frolickers everywhere.  Everything but the kitchen sink Shoppers at this week's Northeast Farmers Market found everything they needed from fresh vegetables to tasty treats for their pets. You'll find those same great offerings and so much more when you visit the market on Monday from 3pm - 7pm.  Remember that the Northeast Farmers Market has two great locations.  The market will be open on Monday afternoons at Doko Meadows in Blythewood and Thursday afternoons at the Market Square in Lake Carolina.  Both locations will run from 3pm - 7pm.  This week Myron Thomas and Willie Lyles from the Blythewood Jazz Orchestra (a.k.a. 'The Jazz Guys') will be playing their smooth  sounds for your shopping and listening enjoyment.  And you don't want to miss the food demonstration by Katherine Shavo  Check out our list of this week's vendors and we'll  see you at the market!

Going once... going twice...... We all get a second chance at bidding on some terrific artwork that was up for auction at this year's Beach Bash.  As you know, the rains came down and washed away the final couple of hours of the Bash so Bravo Blythewood decided that everyone within earshot of downtown Blythewood should have an opportunity to bid on these great pieces of art.  Come by the Blythewood Town Hall next week Monday-Friday and place your offer on the bid sheets.  The auction will close at noon on Friday, June 14 and you'll be notified if you're the highest bidder.  All proceeds from the auction go directly to the American Cancer Society.  Artists from the B.A.G. (Blythewood Artists Guild) have provided the talent, now we need you to provide the bid for a great cause! Who Knew? The world's largest watermelon was grown in Hope, Arkansas in 2005 by Lloyd Bright.  It weighed 268.8 lbs. What's Better than Winning? Winning BIG...that's what.  You can have the chance to win really big on Tuesday, June 11 when the Greater Blythewood Chamber of Commerce sponsors a REVERSE RAFFLE at their Blythewood After 5 event. Never heard of a reverse raffle? Come on out to San Jose's on Hardscrabble Road, Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm and with a $100 tax-deductible donation and a little bit of luck you may just be a winner.  The real winners, though,  will be the 2014 graduates of our Blythewood schools because the proceeds from this event will go to scholarships for some great college bound kids. Grab your lucky rabbit's foot and come on out for some fun! Save the Date!

All students made it off a Blythewood Middle School bus safely, when the engine caught fire.

Thankful for the bus driver, Anna Wimberly! All students made it off of the bus safely due to her quick thinking. We are so proud of her and so happy all of the students are safe!
