Small Town Traditions


Emma made her first trip to Poseyville this past weekend. Among meeting all our neighbors and friends, we had to take part in a well known tradition in Poseyville. For decades, people have been taking their babies to Hirsch's store to have them weighed on the meat scale. Everyone gets a sticker to put in your baby book. As soon as we hit the door, the owner of the store scooped up Emma and said, "Let's weigh this baby!" Her son, Curt, decided Emma was worth the price of Filet Mingon which was going for about $22.95 a pound. Emma was so calm when they weighed her. They said she was the best baby they have ever weighed. Emma weighed in at 13.o8lbs which made her worth $300.19. Be able to take part in this Poseyville tradition... priceless!
