Sunday afternoon three people from different walks of publishing life in Nelson County took part in a panel discussion at the Nelson Library as a part of a program by The Oakland Museum Program Committee and the Nelson County Historical Society. Lynn Coffey, writer and publisher of Backroads magazines and Backroads (book) presented the museum with copies of her highly popular Backroads magazine from 1981 to 2006. The boxes of magazines chronicle 25 years of valuable history from the county. Paul Saunders, author of Heartbeats of Nelson and historical society board member, provided input on the writing of his book and its importance. Tommy Stafford, Nelson County Life Publisher, donated copies of the magazine from its beginning in 2005 until present. Five years worth so far.

We’re in the dead of summer these days and that means everything planted is maturing, regular gardens and hops! Our Paul Purpura grabbed shots of these over at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton. Just beautiful!
Though BMB does buy other hops off site, the ones grown there are used in the production of their brews.
