Hello Liberty County! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning. In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Monster Jam’s return, a Revolutionary War exhibition, and family movie night with Shrek + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Today’s sponsor, Goldco, is helping folks around Liberty County help protect their savings after a remarkable few years for gold and silver. Their free guide explains what's behind the run… and what to know before adding precious metals to your portfolio. Grab your free copy here.* |
01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
Recognized for veteran support: Named Wounded Warrior Project’s Corporate Partner of the Year, Parker’s Kitchen gave $375,000 through a round‑up campaign, increasing matches during Military Appreciation Month to support post‑9/11 veterans in Georgia -- read the full story.
Big thrills return soon: Monster Jam will roar into Savannah’s Enmarket Arena July 31 to August 2 with 12,000-pound trucks, head-to-head racing, two wheel stunts, fan-voted freestyle, plus Trackside interviews, giveaways, and behind-the-scenes looks -- get all the details.
Revolutionary stories on display: Savannah’s Jepson Center will open Divided Loyalties on July 25, showcasing 18th century portraits and divided allegiances. Marking America’s 250th and Telfair Museums’ 140th anniversary, exhibition runs through February 28 -- see the full exhibition details.
Watch your credit card balance drop. Here's a rare one: this card lets you skip interest charges until nearly 2028, and you won't pay a cent in annual fees to do it. On top of that, every purchase earns at least 1.5% cash back, with some categories as high as 5%. Spend a little early on and there's up to a $200 bonus waiting too -- take a look.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half -- this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Google your own name and you'll probably find your home address: It's sitting on a people-search site right now, next to your age, your relatives, and your phone number, free for anyone to look up. Aura gets it taken down. It contacts 420+ data brokers on your behalf, uses privacy laws to legally demand deletion, and keeps resending requests so your information doesn't creep back online. No hours of opt-out forms, it runs quietly in the background — remove your data.* Highlights this week: |
02 — From our sponsor Gold posted one of its strongest runs in decades...Silver has been right there with it, and after a few remarkable years both metals have become some of the most talked-about assets for those looking to stay ahead of market volatility. While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning. If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, Goldco has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how people are approaching precious metals right now. It’s free and worth reading before the next move.* |
03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Clear out some space: Three generations in, Gold & Silver Pawn is the kind of Hinesville staple you pop into when you want instant cash loans or a surprise score, from electronics and jewelry to coins, bullion, and more. Family-run for over 40 years, friendly vibes, fair prices, and plenty to browse.
Island comfort, right here: Good to Go Jamaican Restaurant is your midweek morale boost, serving smoky-spicy plates, rich stews, and sides that turn Tuesday into a tiny vacation. Skip another bland dinner, treat yourself to real-deal island comfort that travels well and disappears fast.
Quick cool-down: For those on post, The Springs Splashpark (Corkan Family Center) is an easy way to let the kids run wild while you supervise with iced coffee energy. Spray zones, giggles, and zero sand in the car... consider it Liberty County’s low-stress summer reset.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial walk-in-the-door fee to x-rays, surgery, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could save thousands on your next vet bill with *Lemonade →
The upgrades that make your home feel new again start here. You don't need a full remodel to fall back in love with your space. New fixtures, a fresh coat of paint, updated hardware, the small changes that make a room feel different. It's all in Home Depot, so a weekend is all it takes to give a tired room a fresh start. *Shop the refresh →
Once your car passes 50,000 miles, the odds of a big repair climb fast. That's usually right when your factory coverage starts running out. Engine, transmission, electrical, they fail on their own timeline, and the bills run into the thousands. An extended warranty covers them before they hit. You receive a free year of Elite Benefits, plus 30 days to change your mind. *$300 off right now →
A window quote that takes an hour and costs you nothing. No showroom, no sales runaround, no obligation to buy anything. A design consultant comes to you, measures your windows, walks you through the options, and leaves you with an exact price and timeline, that's the whole visit. Keep the quote as long as you like and decide whenever you're ready, or don't. Booking takes about a minute. *Book your free visit →
The fitness trend that doesn't require leaving your living room: Chair yoga is having a moment, and for good reason. It's low-impact, easy on the knees and back, and you do the whole thing seated. No floor, no equipment, no studio. A quick quiz turns it into a personalized plan built around your body and goals, then adjusts as you build the habit. *See your plan → |

06 — From our sponsor Skip credit card interest until nearly 2028You know the feeling: you make your credit card payment, check the balance, and it's barely moved. That's interest quietly eating most of what you pay. Here's a rare chance to stop it. This card lets you skip interest charges until nearly 2028, so for over a year every dollar you pay goes straight to what you owe, not the bank's cut. And you won't pay a cent in annual fees to do it. The rewards are where it gets even better. Every purchase earns you at least 1.5% cash back, with some categories climbing as high as 5%, so the card pays you back on the spending you're already doing. Put a little on it early and there's up to a $200 bonus waiting. Between the break on interest, the cash back, and no annual fee, it's a lot of card for nothing to hold. *Take a look → |
