Hello!
We’re Marlene and Arthur Yurvis (pronounced Jer-vis). You are now reading the very first entry in our town’s brand new blog!
This blog is all about our town! Turbot! A small, quiet town with one hell of a can-do All-American spirit! We don’t want to sound like a cliché but we’re a small town with a sizable heart (maybe you’ve heard that one?) A town that’s all about people working hard and making good. So many people and families have made us their home that we wanted you to spend some time discovering them. It’ll be fun.
We have a wonderful history that is exciting and epic and would make a great movie if anyone’s listening (Ha Ha!) We aren’t an old town although our location has a colorful history. There’s nothing we like more than a chilled glass of lemonade and watching the sun sink beyond the trees and trailers.*
Our population is 143 but we have the hobbies, interests and stories of 334. Entrepreneurs, artists, writers, marinaters, civic leaders. We have a newspaper (The Turbot Tribune) that comes out three times a week. Every year the Prepared Beef Plant sponsors a carnival, a bake sale (Cakewalk included!), a Christmas Pageant and, well, whatever Mr. Grey wants to sponsor. We all go. Why not? We all work there.
You may be saying: Why does your small town warrant my time? I’m a busy person. What about you people makes for good reading? Three words for you… a-nude-man. How’s that squeeze you, Roderick? (There’s plenty more where that came from.) Well, you just keep reading…Give us a little bit of that valuable time a few times a week and you’ll see…
We’re great!
(Oh, we’ll have photos & pictures on this thing as soon as Arthur can figure out how to work it.) (Honey!) (Sorry.)
Next time: we’ll start you on a tour of Turbot at the very heart of activity!
Grey’s Prepared Beef Plant! Let’s smell the smells.
