Pendleton Honors Squidoo and Ohme!
Ranked #4,142 in Squidoo Community, #287,559 overall | Donates to Friends of the Park
September 8, 2009 - Nancy Hellams Queen of Squidoo Day - in Pendleton SC
This was a huge surprise to Nancy and of course, she was both thrilled and honored. Ohme has created over 30 lenses that promote our hometown of Pendleton, South Carolina. Her favorite cause is Pendleton's Veterans Park and she is chair of the Friends of the Park organization that uses Squidoo as their main website. She also keeps an updated lens on Pendleton Happenings. Pendleton Happenings serves as a bulletin board for town events and news. Pendleton may be small but it is a very active community! You can read about these special events such as Fall Harvest Festival, Spring Jubilee, Freedom Fest and Farmers Market.
Congratulations, Ohme! And Congratulations, Pendleton -- You might just be the most talked about town in all of Squidoo!

We salute you, Ohme!
Personal note -- For years, the Tate sisters have danced the Molly Brown song "I ain't down yet" and argued good naturedly about who gets to be the queen. Nancy, I think you won the prize! So Betty and I agree, you get to be the queen -- from now till the next time we dance to that tune -- which will most likely be Family Reunion April 2010 in Pendleton! Enjoy your reign!Thank you to All of you bloggers who wrote about this celebration!
We appreciate you!

September 9th, 2009 by rms September 8, 2009 is officially, Nancy Hellams Queen of Squidoo Day!
In honor of her continued promotion - I Squidoo, Do You?
- If there's one person on all of Squidoo who loves her hometown, it's Nancy Hellams, aka lensmaster Ohme, and local friends and folks have definitely noticed.

Queen of Squidoo Day
Ohme has created over 30 lenses that promote our hometown of Pendleton, SC. - SquidU Review Blog Archive The Queen of Squidoo
- In 2003, Pendleton, South Carolina had fewer than 3,000 people. Some high schools are larger! But one lensmaster is proving that your hometown doesn't have to be big in order for you to have a big impact on it.
OhMe joined Squidoo in July 2008 and took no snail's trail towards becoming a prolific lensmaster. Within a year she had achieved Giant Squid Status and become a sweetheart regular at the SquidU forum. One passion of hers is building lenses about her hometown, Pendleton. My momma always said, if you're going to do something, do it well, and OhMe is the best.

Thank you for celebrating with Nancy (and me too!)
Thank you! I have been completely overwhelmed by this whole event - the proclamation, the blogs, the comments, and all of the congratulations. I realize that this great honor that was bestowed on me is much larger than I am. It is a tribute to two great communities who only have one thing in common and that is that both are filled with wonderful people.

- Hi Nancy. My "belated" congratulations on being honored by the Town of Pendleton for the wonderful promotions you've done for your hometown here on Squidoo, and all the volunteer work you do in the community. You are a true 'community leader and ambassador for Pendleton' and I'm so delighted to know you and to live here in your wonderful town of Pendleton. And what a proud sister you have in Joan to honor you with this lens.

- What a wonderful tribute! Nancy's lenses on Pendleton are awesome. It's obvious she loves her home town and it come through in her writing. She's one of the sweetest Queens I know. (Granted she's the only one I know but that's beside the point.)
Five Stars and favored.
I am honored to call both of you my friend.

We have gotten so much warmth and goodwill from visiting your lenses and with you, Nancy. You truly are a joy and worthy of Squidoo Queen! ~ Thank you and God bless! ~ I know that you sleep with the angels!
