🎃 Scarecrow Showdown in Woodstock: Fall Fun Faces Off Against the Anti-Fun League

WOODSTOCK, GA – The cozy streets of downtown Woodstock are alive with color this October weekend, as the annual Festival of Scarecrows returns, drawing families, photographers, and pumpkin spice lovers from all over Cherokee County. Local businesses, schools, and clubs have lined Main Street with creative scarecrow displays — from classic farmhands and spooky witches to elaborate movie characters and clever pop culture tributes.

But while most of the town is focused on hay bales and hot cider, a group calling itself the Anti-Fun League a leftist organization exploiting the Goverment shutdown, has announced plans to protest during the festivities. Some residents worry the demonstration could distract from what’s traditionally a lighthearted celebration of fall fun.

Locals say, the Scarecrow Festival has always been about community, creativity, and family. Shop owners have spent weeks preparing displays, cafés are serving autumn treats, and families are eager to enjoy a crisp October day in beautiful downtown Woodstock.

Despite the noise from the Anti-Fun League, Woodstock’s spirit remains strong. Families are expected to fill the streets, collecting candy, snapping photos with their favorite scarecrows, and enjoying the season’s festive charm.

Charlie Kirk Honored at Candlelight Vigil; Democrats Convinced They’ve Witnessed a Failed Weapons Test

WOODSTOCK, GA — Hundreds of supporters gathered last night for a candlelight memorial honoring American hero Charlie Kirk. The event was serene, patriotic, and moving… unless you were a Democrat, in which case it was a confusing display of what some described as “an army of conservatives holding malfunctioning Molotov cocktails.”

“They’re just… standing there,” gasped Democrat activist Lori Perkins, shielding her eyes from the gentle glow. “Why aren’t they throwing them at a Starbucks? Are they waiting for Joe Rogan to give the signal? These bombs are clearly duds.”

Another onlooker, 24-year-old progressive blogger Chadwell “Chaz” Morrison, was seen frantically Googling. “Okay, it says here Molotov cocktails should explode on impact. These… these aren’t exploding. Have Republicans hacked fire? Is this like, some kind of Elon Musk flameless torch technology?”

The solemn crowd of Kirk supporters continued their peaceful vigil, singing hymns and holding candles high. Meanwhile, a small group of Democrats huddled across the street, convinced they were watching a militia training exercise gone wrong.

“I think the wax is some kind of tactical gel,” speculated local Democrat Paulina Hernandez. “They’re disguising napalm as scented candles. Cinnamon apple, probably.”

One particularly shaken liberal, clutching a Starbucks cup like a life preserver, whispered: “If those Molotovs won’t explode… then when will they? This could be a time-release bomb. It’s too advanced for me.”

Despite their panic, the evening concluded without incident. As attendees blew out their candles and quietly departed, Democrats reportedly stayed behind to argue about whether the “failed Molotovs” were a new form of right-wing climate protest.

Local resident Hank Meyers summed up the night best: “We honored a great man with some candles. Meanwhile, the other side thought Yankee Candle was waging domestic terrorism. Bless their hearts.”

Reporter’s Visit Reveals Missing “Duck Office” at Cherokee County Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

By Staff Writer

Cherokee County, GA —

When local reporter Salvatore Insinga stopped by Cherokee County’s own Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership this week for routine service, he expected the usual: excellent customer care, a spotless showroom, and a friendly atmosphere that has long been a staple of the dealership’s reputation.

What he didn’t expect was what was missing.

The dealership’s well-known “Duck Office” — once decorated floor-to-ceiling with rubber duck toys and collectibles, a lighthearted nod to the Jeep community’s tradition of “ducking” fellow Jeep owners — was gone. The bright, playful display that many customers associated with the Jeep brand had quietly disappeared.

For years, the Duck Office served as a symbol of Cherokee County’s Jeep culture, a reminder that ownership wasn’t just about a vehicle, but about being part of a community. Jeep owners across the country have embraced the ducking tradition, leaving rubber ducks on parked Jeeps as a cheerful gesture of camaraderie.

Now, customers are left wondering what the disappearance might mean.

“Walking into the showroom and not seeing the Duck Office felt…strange,” Insinga reported. “It was always a fun piece of dealership character that reminded you Jeep ownership is more than just a purchase — it’s an experience.”

Some speculate that the removal may be tied to a broader slowdown in Jeep sales. With rising interest rates, shifting consumer demand, and increased competition in the SUV market, dealerships nationwide are facing challenges. Whether the missing Duck Office is a direct reflection of these trends remains unclear.

Dealership staff did not provide an official explanation, but regulars say the absence is already being felt.

“It just doesn’t feel the same without it,” one longtime customer remarked. “The ducks always made you smile.”

For now, the community can only speculate — was this simply a redecorating choice, or does it signal something larger about the state of Jeep’s hold on the market?

One thing is certain: Cherokee County’s Jeep enthusiasts will miss the whimsical Duck Office that once made their visits just a little brighter.

TARGET IN TURMOIL: NERD FRENZY PUSHES ASSOCIATES TO THE BRINK IN CHEROKEE COUNTY G.A

Cherokee County, GA – July 28, 2025

A local Target store in Cherokee County, Georgia is facing internal chaos as retail associates threaten to walk out due to what they’re calling an “unstoppable flood of weird nerds” demanding NECA Ninja Turtle figures and rare Pokémon merchandise.

According to several employees, the madness began weeks ago when rumors of a restock spread across online collector forums. Since then, hundreds of eager fans have camped outside the store daily, some dressed as cartoon characters, demanding to speak to employees about what’s “in the back.”

“It’s every day,” said one exhausted team member who asked to remain anonymous. “They wait by the electronics section, whisper about restocks, and follow us with screenshots of collector group posts. I got asked 14 times today if we had the new mutant module in stock.”

Store leadership held an emergency staff meeting Friday morning to address growing tension and burnout. Several employees reportedly walked off the job mid-shift after being berated by a customer in a full Pikachu onesie.

While Target corporate has yet to comment officially, the store has posted a sign on its entrance: “We do not check the back for toys. Please be kind or leave.”

Local officials are encouraging customers to respect workers and consider online options. In the meantime, Cherokee County’s strangest standoff continues—one toy shelf at a time.
