Jeremy Yankee has worked with organizations across Brown County and surrounding counties since 2005, providing them with fundraiser ideas including ‘Hold’ em Tournaments.’ Now, he, along with two of his best friends, have brought his years of experience to a new business in Fayetteville, a private club called Fremont Players Club. Yankee, Neal Chance and Mark Malott opened the Fremont Players Club in mid May this year and the club already has more than 130 members who visit the club regularly. “What we offer is a fun place to be, that provides entertainment to its members such as regular hold' em tournaments, poker, pool, darts, Wii competitions, free WiFi and other activities,” explained Yankee. “We’re not a casino or a room full of slot machines. We started out offering poker games and gradually we’ve added more and more tournaments and contests for euchre, gin rummy and other card games as well.” Yankee said through his years of organizing charity events, supplying the equipment and manpower, he quickly learned that there were a lot of people who expressed a desire for a place they could go to compete in tournaments. He has operated hold' em tournaments for the American Legion in Ripley, RCAP in Russellville and Eagles and VFW’s across the county. He added that unlike

other games such as slot machines or lottery tickets, poker is a game of skill as are the other games offered at the Fremont. “What we supply at the Fremont Players Club is a place to relax,” said Chance. “Sometimes our members just want to sit back and watch a game on TV or play a Wii game. “There is no drinking allowed at our club, but we do provide free snacks and other refreshment including coffee, water or soft drinks to our members.” Yankee explained that the cost to join the club is only $20 a year. Then each evening members can participate in a variety of events for set prices. “Basically we offer any kind of card game,” he said. “Right now we’re
only open on Thursday evening through Sunday evening, but eventually that may change. Currently the club is holding 9-ball billiard tournaments (for members only) on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. On the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month the club holds euchre tournaments (for members only). The club opens nightly at 6 p.m. and tournaments begin at 7 p.m. Hours for the club are Thursday and Friday, open 6 p.m. until 3 a.m., Saturday 1 p.m. to 3 a.m., and Sunday 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. “We are very excited about an upcoming event on Monday, September 10,” Yankee said, “We are holding a really big euchre tournament, and we expect the competition to
be fierce.” Yankee added that the Skyline Chili in Fayetteville offers a 10% discount to all Fremont Players Club members, upon presentation of their membership card. “We are here in Fayetteville to grow,” Yankee said, “We are in a central location and already have members from Highland County, Clermont, Adams, Hamilton, Clinton, Fayette, Warren and of course Brown. “We would like to invite everyone out to the Fremont Players Club and check us out. We are located right next to the Family Dollar Store on US 50.” For more information on the Fremont Players Club please call (513) 875-2875 or visit www.fremontplayersclub.com.
Georgetown Farmers Market adding new vendors The Georgetown Thursday Farmers' Market has added three new vendors, one selling fresh and dried herbs, jams and jellies and braided egg bread (challah), one with honey and another with hand made original gifts. There are many varieties of peppers, from sweet to very very hot, also a delicious new jalapeno with just a trace of heat, but great flavor! There are mounds of fresh vegetables at such low prices they are an invitation to buy in bulk. And don't forget the watermelon and cantaloupe, grown in the good l oc al soil and picked by
the farmers who raised them. Of course, those with a sweet tooth may still enjoy freshly baked blackberry cake, chocolate muffins, peanut bars, zucchini bread, cookies, cheese bread and many other treats. There are also fresh farm eggs for sale, and many varieties of canned pickles, beet relish, salsa and preserves. Visit the Market on Thursdays from 3--7PM in front of the "BOB" lot, on South Main just north of Rt. 125. There is now an entire city block of vendors!

Have A Safe and Fun Labor Day! There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right. - Bill Cosby Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life. - Marc Chagall Without labor nothing prospers. - Sophocles
The Very First Labor Day September 5, 1882 - Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York's Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too. With four long months between Independence Day and Thanksgiving, Peter suggested a month halfway in between. The very first Labor Day was held on a Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The day was celebrated with a picnic, concert and speeches. Ten thousand workers marched in a parade from City Hall to Union Square. Soon after that first celebration, the holiday was moved to the first Monday in September, the day we still honor. Congress passed legislation making Labor Day a national holiday in 1894. Labor Day is not just a day to celebrate the accomplishments of workers; for some people, it is also a day to talk about their concerns and to discuss ways to get better working conditions and salaries. from www.americaslibrary.gov
