Well it's July and its hot as hades outside so that can only mean one thing....
Its time for the SC Peach Festival in Gaffney, SC. The events kick off on July 10th and this year there is a surprising new attraction in Gaffney, a serial killer. Yep, he's claimed himself five victims in the last week and with only a few short days before the start of the festival, law enforcement officers in the area are on high alert and many residents are walking the streets with loaded fire arms for protection. He's the talk of the town as reported in the Gaffney Ledger.
So do you wanna be a SC Peach Festival Queen?
Well find out all the info for the weeks festivities on the Peach Festival website.
Make sure and get your photo taken in front of the big peach water tower just off the interstate! And if you happen to catch the serial killer the reward is up to $20,000. Now that there is some serious scholarship money!
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Sorry you won't be getting that $20,000 reward. The authorities in nearby Gastonia, NC had a late night confrontation with a man who turned out to be the Gaffney, SC serial killer. In the confrontation, the man, Patrick Burris, 41, was shot to death by officers who were investigating a burglary complaint at a home in Gaston County, about 30 miles from where the killing spree started June 27. Bullets in his gun matched those that killed residents in and around Gaffney over six days last week, said State Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd.

In the event you cannot fulfill your obligations....
One day after winning the title of Miss Georgia (MAO) Saturday night at the annual pageant in Columbus, Gwinnett County school teacher Kristina Higgins relinquished the post, now filled by the first runner-up, Emily Cook, a Marietta law student.
Higgins said she stepped down because her responsibilities as a middle school teacher would not leave her time she would need to serve as Miss Georgia.
Cook was informed Sunday that she was the winner after Higgins turned down the prize.
The 22-year-old Cook is a recent graduate of the University of Miami and had been accepted into University of Georgia's Law School.
Instead she will be competing for the Miss America crown in January in Las Vegas.

You can't have a pageant without a crown....
And the winner is.... WHO'S GOT THE CROWN!!!???
Can you imagine loosing the crown?
Did someone steal it? We've all heard pageant titles being stolen, but the actual crown..... Well it happened at Miss Nevada this year.
At first it was believed that the crown was stolen from a hotel room at the Circus Circus Casino, however it was an apologetic volunteer, not a thief, was to blame for the disappearance of the $400 Miss Nevada crown, which thankfully turned up late Friday afternoon at a Reno alteration shop, said pageant organizer Teresa Benitez-Thompson.
The volunteer had misplaced the crown in a small box that accompanied other boxes and hanging bags of clothes to the business Thursday.
"The volunteer is so embarrassed. She loves the pageant and couldn't be any more apologetic," she said. "We sincerely thought an unauthorized person had the crown. Our belief in mankind has been affirmed with its discovery."
"I was so nervous we wouldn't have a crown, and I didn't get any sleep last night," said Benitez-Thompson, Miss America pageant director for the state and Miss Nevada 2002. "But we have our crown and couldn't be happier."
