WASHINGTON – The Easter Bunny has Easter, Santa and his reindeer have Christmas, Butterball has Thanksgiving—meh, scratch that. In Washington County, MarCon Pies owns the Thanksgiving season. Beginning the week before the holiday, orders double and triple the average output. It’s not unusual for the company to crank out more than 1,000 pies per day. Like other retailers, the extended holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day is the company’s busy season. Employees work long hours, delivery drivers pound the pavement across two states and the aroma of fresh-baked pies wafts over the neighborhood where MarCon Pies is located.

Site work continues for new hospital additions

Submitted by Edgar on Thu, 12/05/2013 - 3:07pm

The Hearts N’ Things house is no more. The structure was removed to make way for the hospital expansion. Hearts N’ Things moved to a downtown location.

By Dan Thalmann.

A significant amount of dirt work will commence at the southeast portion of the Washington County Hospital property in Washington over the next week. With the former Hearts N’ Things house removed, the former yard to the west of the house will be scraped down to become level with the existing hospital parking lot. The space will become an expanded parking area for the hospital’s main entrance and will also allow for better traffic flow to the future emergency room entrance on the east side of the building.
