Although next year won&#8217;t be a round number like 150, the heritage groups should realize that this can be a big fundraiser for many years to come as an annual event.<\/li>\n<li>I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn&#8217;t any kind of an organized (or disorganized) protest by the local anti-confederate flag groups. You know, the ones that said &#8220;This isn&#8217;t over&#8221;. Of course, they also said that the Community Outrage would continue against the firing of Ed Newsome, too. Ed who?<\/li>\n<li>Why hadn&#8217;t Bertram Hayes-Davis (Jefferson Davis&#8217; great-great-grandson) ever been to Danville before? You&#8217;d think that&#8217;s the kind of guy who would have taken a vacation to Danville at sometime to at least tour the Sutherlin Mansion. Will he ever be back?<\/li>\n<li>How many people know what sesquicentennial means?<\/li>\n<li>Halifax County&#8217;s Chamber of Commerce had their annual business trade show last week. I knew nothing about it until the day before the event.<\/li>\n<li>The one year that WMDV took part in it, Jessica Robinson came in asking &#8220;Where is this Pizzeria event center I saw on the billboards?&#8221;. I tried not to laugh when I told her it was &#8220;The Prizery&#8221; and she was standing in it. Seriously.<\/li>\n<li>I miss listening to Brad Krantz &amp; Britt Whitmire on radio. In the meantime, they&#8217;re still as good as ever on their podcast.<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday night. 7 PM. I&#8217;ll be making a speech in front of Danville City Council.
