C-2 Wednesday, September 28, 2022 The Press-Dispatch SWEETS Continued from page 4 where the Winslow Lions Club and the Tractor Show with the shuttles that transported stars to the other locations. The Lions served breakfast and lunch where we had sold out of breakfast, so we started lunch and soon, in the af- ternoon, we sold out of lunch also. The games and blown up slide were a big hit to loads of kids who also received a stuffed animal. Music was enjoyable as Lowell Thom- as and Steve Edwards, from the Peters- burg Lions Club, sang several tunes with a small mishap of the speaker that was finally fixed. Later we were enter- tained by Henry Nelson and Tammy English who also drew a crowd. Jim's Tractor Works Show had 15 tractors to see and trophies were awarded. The ug- liest tractor went to Joseph Feutz and he also won the oldest tractor, 1 48 -8N, the prettiest tractor was a 1940 John Deere owned by Ron Cromer. The shuttle ran all day with Jim Hughes and Darren Georges taking turns. Center and Min Streets was another place to enjoy the fun with vendor/flea market, games for the kids with puppet making, Nazarene Church served food, Bertrams' with homemade ice cream that was really tasty and Mt. Pisgah Church with food and drinks, karaoke and bands. Sports field was set up for mush ball and cornhole tournaments, frozen t-shirt contest and food and drinks. Several other places in town had oth- er events: Fire Department selling raf- fle tickets for a kayak, a bounce house, and businesses serving food on Friday. Did you see the caravan of jeeps? Sev- eral jeeps and one police car were with them as they drove through town. The Winslow Lions also gave a plaque to Del- phia in memory of Melvin DeCisto, who was a firefighter and worked security for the festival and said inspiring words that describe what Melvin meant to all of us. When darkness appeared the Light Up Winslow Parade began with about 57 lit up items from fire departments, EMS, Winslow Lions Club, Winslow American Legion, motorcycles, queens, princess- es, Miss and Misters, tractors of all sizes, floats, Winslow teachers with a big igloo, Petersburg Hardware, Pike County Democrats, several town coun- cil candidates, Petersburg Community Church float, a boy on a small tractor, Winslow Utilities, Sweet's column with Officers Steve and Alfred to lead the pa- rade. Again this year kids line main street with some waling out into the street to receive treats thrown during the parade and that shouldn't happen. They could have gotten hurt. I said to stay by the curb, but no one listened except those who read Sweet's column and the stars who live here. Anyway the parade I guess was a hit by everyone along the route and there were many, many stars . We are glad you all came out to enjoy your time with all of us and we do hope to have this event next year, but with more safety if at all possible. Oh, I almost forgot the Grand Mar- shall was Clemmy Clements. Our Winslow Lions members were split up as the Open Fun Horse Show was on the 17th also, but we all made it to the parade. Norm and I got to have our grand- daughter, Kyana be with us as she sat on the tailgate to throw out candy. Nice to see her again. Sunday was a day to pack up all the equipment used and to store away for next year. Mowers are still being heard around the area and in the very humid, hot day of 95 to 97 degrees. A fter Norm got fin- ished with all the yards we went out to eat at Caddy Shack where you can get a burger that will satisfy the hungry man's appetite.

My So Called Millennial Life By Stephanie Hayes I guess we're supposed to use BeReal now I was proud. A fter denying it for years, I finally accepted that TikTok is a fun and useful app. I produced my first contribution, a clip of my wee dog hugging a stuffed bear. Intellectual? No. Exquisite serotonin juice? Absolutely. If I had more than nine followers, it might have gone viral. (It would not have, but don't tell Rocket. He's very vain.) My pal mentioned BeReal. I pretend- ed to know what she was talking about and quietly Googled "BeReal" in the same window where I'd been Googling "perimenopause age." Not another so- cial network, the description insisted. The next day, my boss, unprompted, described BeReal as the only good so- cial media app. She held up her phone and showed off shots of what appeared to be ... her friends sitting in parking lots. Why was this arguably boring plat- form suddenly everywhere? That thing was happening where you buy a blue Toyota Camry and start to notice beau- coup blue Toyota Camrys on the road. The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon for Rapidly Aging People. BeReal, a French app born in 2020, grew so popular this year that TikTok has already ripped it off. It's a come-as- you-are party. Once a day, BeReal urges users to post whatever lies before them, no matter how mundane (parking lots). Then, the app assaults users with a self- ie. If the picture turns out traumatic, as my first one did, you can retake it. But there's a catch; the app tattles, alerting everyone that you are not real. Real people display their chin acne once a day! You might be reading this and going, "Wait, I'm just now getting on Insta- gram." Or "I'm still using Facebook; should I get my affairs in order? " Or "Any advice for my abundance of Kodak disposable cameras? " Dreadful, the realization that culture moves on with or without you. Exhaust- ing, the quest to keep up. BeReal isn't the only newcomer. Heard of Superno- va? Applaudable? Sunroom? Polywork? Are you sweating? Does it happen for, like, just a few minutes and then it pass- es or... never mind. It's always the coolest, least-exposed people who seem to know new things first. They keep a sophisticated internet presence while I employ all the nuance of Corn Kid. They visit Europe without a single nugget of online evidence. I vis- it the grocery store and post six Insta- gram stories, two tweets and a photo in a novelty llama mask. Coolness is futile, friends. Irrelevance is beautiful. Perhaps not coincidentally, that's why BeReal has caught on. At its best, social me- dia functions as an incu- bator for connection and creativity, an illuminator of new talents, a treasure trove of stories. But peo- ple have grown weary of the hustle for influence, the constant monetiza- tion. They just want to live, and it turns out most living happens in parking lots. We're all stuck in this social media ecosystem, and it's hard not to be cyn- ical when even the most banal and bor- ing moments inevitably become exten- sions of our Personal Brands. Perhaps the answer is to just be generous to one another as we cope with the flattening of our vast and interesting selves into a series of triple-chin selfies and dull-as- bricks parking lot photos.* *Check back with me next year, when my BeReal roll will rival the hallowed grounds of a Costco.
