Hillsville’s version of Americana – Kevin’s Barber Shop down on Main Street ! It’s as close to Mayberry as it gets !

Kevin’s shop has such a throwback feel to it, across the board. Like Norm on the old sitcom Cheers, a place where everyone knows your name, and the others waiting for their turn in the historic chair πŸ’Ί.

Today is Thursday and once again Kevin has a full house 🏠. The vibe is always relaxed and takes me back to time where life felt less complicated. The topic of the day is about 🐟🐠 and catching the big one.

Kevin is good natured about the reason why folks wait in line for a haircut. The glass half-empty says he runs the only Barber Shop in town so there’s no choice.

Living in the Class half-full, I want to believe its because people feel at home here and they can visit with old friends and make new ones during their stay.

If you find yourself looking for a way to take a trip back in time, the building has been here since 1950 as a Barber Shop from Day 1. The Worrell Family πŸ‘ͺ took over back in 1984 and seven years later, Kevin joined the Family Business !

Travis Osborne shares a story that is about more than just Softball..

A tough loss for our CCMS Lady Cavaliers Softball Team last evening, as they fell 14-4 to the Ladies at Christiansburg Middle School. As the typical “Softball Dad,” I often times get wound up during the heat of the battle πŸ”₯πŸ”₯…… after the game last night, Morgan walked out of the Circle discouraged. (And Dad may have been a little as well)??….

    Then, as we were leaving the park, one of Morgan’s friends from the opposing team came over and gave Morgan a Big Hug with a Big SmileπŸ˜€ What a Wonderful Testimony from a Wonderful young LadyπŸ™πŸ™ I was Quickly reminded that there’s A Lot more to this game than just the game❀️
               I challenge All young athletes and parents to put forth the effort to be an encourager. You just might put a smile on someone’s face when they need it the most!!!πŸ™β€οΈ
