<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Western author Mr. Peter Brandvold will gallop into the Junction with guns blazing on Saturday, May 19th.</strong></span>

Mr. Peter has been here before and always shows us a good time. He's raring to talk to us about what makes interesting reading.

And we won't have to twist his arm and make him holler uncle to tell us about his books.

So, join our party. We'll make sure Mr. Peter puts away his guns. Can't have him filling us with holes.

But seriously, no finer gentleman walked the earth than Mr. Peter. I'd bet the ranch on that. Shoot, I'd even bet my mule Jasper and I'm right fond of him.

For a good time and a chance to ride the trail with a bona-fide gunslinger follow the trail to the Junction.

That's Saturday, May 19th. Don't forget now!]]></content:encoded>

The Fillies have rustled up another guest to ride the range with and will put another potato in the pot.

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Miss Lacy Williams will call on us Saturday, May 12th.</strong></span>

She'll talk about mothers and how special they are. Plus, she'll tell us about a new book called THE HOMESTEADER'S SWEETHEART that has hit the bookstores. It's a Harlequin Love Inspired romance and looks like a humdinger or my name's not Felicia Filly.

Miss Lacy isn't coming empty-handed either. She's toting a copy to give away.

Show up and comment to get your name in the hat for the drawing. Easy as pie.

So shake the wrinkles out of your bustle and head over.

Saturday's the day and the Junction is the place.]]></content:encoded>

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Western author Mr. Peter Brandvold will gallop into the Junction with guns blazing on Saturday, May 19th.</strong></span>

Mr. Peter has been here before and always shows us a good time. He's raring to talk to us about what makes interesting reading.

And we won't have to twist his arm and make him holler uncle to tell us about his books.

So, join our party. We'll make sure Mr. Peter puts away his guns. Can't have him filling us with holes.

But seriously, no finer gentleman walked the earth than Mr. Peter. I'd bet the ranch on that. Shoot, I'd even bet my mule Jasper and I'm right fond of him.

For a good time and a chance to ride the trail with a bona-fide gunslinger follow the trail to the Junction.

That's Saturday, May 19th. Don't forget now!]]></content:encoded>

The Fillies have rustled up another guest to ride the range with and will put another potato in the pot.

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Miss Lacy Williams will call on us Saturday, May 12th.</strong></span>

She'll talk about mothers and how special they are. Plus, she'll tell us about a new book called THE HOMESTEADER'S SWEETHEART that has hit the bookstores. It's a Harlequin Love Inspired romance and looks like a humdinger or my name's not Felicia Filly.

Miss Lacy isn't coming empty-handed either. She's toting a copy to give away.

Show up and comment to get your name in the hat for the drawing. Easy as pie.

So shake the wrinkles out of your bustle and head over.

Saturday's the day and the Junction is the place.]]></content:encoded>

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Western author Mr. Peter Brandvold will gallop into the Junction with guns blazing on Saturday, May 19th.</strong></span>

Mr. Peter has been here before and always shows us a good time. He's raring to talk to us about what makes interesting reading.

And we won't have to twist his arm and make him holler uncle to tell us about his books.

So, join our party. We'll make sure Mr. Peter puts away his guns. Can't have him filling us with holes.

But seriously, no finer gentleman walked the earth than Mr. Peter. I'd bet the ranch on that. Shoot, I'd even bet my mule Jasper and I'm right fond of him.

For a good time and a chance to ride the trail with a bona-fide gunslinger follow the trail to the Junction.

That's Saturday, May 19th. Don't forget now!]]></content:encoded>

The Fillies have rustled up another guest to ride the range with and will put another potato in the pot.

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Miss Lacy Williams will call on us Saturday, May 12th.</strong></span>

She'll talk about mothers and how special they are. Plus, she'll tell us about a new book called THE HOMESTEADER'S SWEETHEART that has hit the bookstores. It's a Harlequin Love Inspired romance and looks like a humdinger or my name's not Felicia Filly.

Miss Lacy isn't coming empty-handed either. She's toting a copy to give away.

Show up and comment to get your name in the hat for the drawing. Easy as pie.

So shake the wrinkles out of your bustle and head over.

Saturday's the day and the Junction is the place.]]></content:encoded>

They've gotten involved with a very worthy cause and could use your help.

I reckon you've heard of Brenda Novak, the romance author. If not, tie up your horse and sit right down. She hosts a yearly auction and gives the proceeds to the Diabetes Foundation so they can find a cure for this horrible disease.

The Fillies have put together a basket of their books and other neat things and Miss Brenda is auctioning it off along with a whole passel of others. Click <a href="http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&amp;Auction_uid1=2560264">Here</a> to mosey over and check it out.

And if the spirit moves you to place a bid the Fillies sure would be mighty grateful.

The auction will last through the end of May.]]></content:encoded>
