People fill the bookstores and shopping centers all over the world as the release of the seventh and final installment of Harry Potter goes on sale. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is perhaps the biggest and most anticipated release since the premiere of the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
People from all walks of life crowd this local Wal*Mart in Albion, New York awaiting the 12:01 release of the book. Each person reserving their copy of the book with a colored bracelet representing one of the four "houses" from Hogwarts School.
Fans, and curious people of all ages wait their turn. Before we knew it, the books were being passed out and everyone was thumbing the pages of the book before leaving the store. Just about everyone was here, including some people who just came to watch the people wait in line. Fan or not, the books sold quickly. Everyone was excited about the event, there were even a few who dressed as characters from the book.
As the night comes to an end, we can only imagine another event like this until perhaps the final movie comes to theaters.

Harry Potter works his magic again!
Rolling Hills Benefit - Success!
Rolling Hills Benefit is a success.
Due to recent unfortunate events and financial difficulties, the Lori Carlson and family were forced to close Rolling Hills Country Mall recently. The property owned by the Carlsons was once a poor farm, county home and Nursing Home and was most recently a craft and antique co-op mall. The recent events such as a water main break caused financial hardship and the eventual closing of the mall. The benefit on July 14th helped the family enough to catch up on financial obligations and keep the building running. (Details at the RH website)
Congratulations on a successful fund raiser. We look forward to visiting Rolling Hills for years to come. Best of luck to Lori and her family.
You can visit Rolling Hills' website for details on how you can take your own ghost tours through the historic property.
