A Month Late, But Big News All The Same

Sometimes when things are moving so fast you look back and realize you failed to do something very important.  Such is the case with this post.  Earlier today (actually just a few minutes ago) I posted on how great the pancake breakfast was at the Shelby Iron Works Parks on July 7th.  After posting, I realized that I had neglected to post an important update (it was sitting in draft form waiting to be published) that would explain why I was writing about an event at the Shelby Iron Works Park.  So, here is the content of that post, which I hope will explain why I’m posting about the park:
