County wide
Salt of the Earth
The people of this county are about as plain and solid as folks come.
They work hard, they keep their word, they help a neighbor without being asked, and they don't make a show of any of it. That's not weakness. That's strength you don't have to advertise. The fancy world overlooks places like ours. That's their loss. Give me a county full of salt-of-the-earth people over a city full of talkers any day. We know what matters.
This is home.
