Bartering for Entertainment

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel, Writing/ 6 Comments/ 708

Where can you go and watch a show for the admission price of vegetables, dairy products and livestock? In 2026, probably no place exists but in June 1933 the Barter Theatre opened with the motto “With vegetables you cannot sell, you can buy a good Continue reading →

A Wee Scotland Post

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Travel/ 4 Comments/ 609

My posts will probably be Scotland heavy for awhile just because I have so many pictures and it was such a great trip. Today’s post will be picture heavy with limited text but I figure that will be just fine with most of my readers. Continue reading →
