In my stories, I have written many times how the little town of Anza has come together and helped residents in their time of need. Our family twice has been in need and yes, the people in Anza were there to do whatever it took to help us through our rough patch. The first was when my sister got hurt (a story for another time), the next when my dad got bit by a stud horse named Entrepreneur. The friendly members of the community came together to help watch us kids, they also brought food and even did chores around the ranch while my dad was in the
hospital and recuperating. When I was writing this story for my mom’s family album in 2009, she had told me that she remembered most the moral support from her friends and how she did not feel belittled but quite the opposite, she was so uplifted by their concern. What a town, a town that I can say I am proud to be a part of. It was a spring day on the Kellogg’s Farm, my dad was plowing the weeds in the orchard when he heard a horse’s cry from the stud area. A well-known stud by the name of Entrepreneur had his foot caught in the v-shaped wire. With him kicking a flailing, dad was Flashy Wind won many ribbons in show and was well sought after for Courtesy photo stud.

Mr. Happy’s Mercantile now open in Anza Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
They came from as far away as Anaheim to help celebrate the official grand opening of Mr. Happy’s Mercantile Nov. 26. Anza’s newest retail store at 57475 Highway 371 specializes in local artist’s creations and period antiques. Robert Sawtelle, along with his wife Teresa, daughters Raelyn and Annalyn and mother Rusty Browning stayed busy throughout the day introducing customers to the many crafts and antiques on consignment in the new store. All the for sale items in the store are on consignment, most to local artists and craftsmen, explained Sawtelle. The colder, rainy weather and an area power failure that afternoon did not dampen the spirits of customers and family. The Sawtelles, with the cash register down and lights off in the display area, gave out handwritten sales receipts to Teresa Sawtelle and her daughter Annalyn at the register help one of Mr. Happy’s Mercantile’s new customers. The store is open on Highway 371 in Anza. Tony Ault photo
