If variety is the spice of life, then the Kressin family of Lizella would be packed with a lot of heat.

Jeff Kressin is an Air Force Reserve officer, his wife, Beth, a dog breeder, and together they've owned numerous businesses, including a flight school and an alpaca farm.

Their latest venture adds new flavor, in fact 45 of them, at a Warner Robins craft beer store.

The Kressin family believes they're about to hook-on to an untapped desire.

Jeff Kressin said, "People in Middle Georgia have really been lacking something of this nature."

It's carry out. The Lazy Dog Growler is not a bar.

Customers will buy what's called a growler. They come in 32 or 64 ounce sizes.

It's the final countdown. The Houston County boys soccer team is looking for their biggest win of the season on the biggest stage, in the 5A state championship.

The undefeated Bears advanced to the finals after a shutout win over Stars Mill, 5-0. The black and silver are led by 8 seniors, a balanced attack on offense and a stingy defense.
Saturday, they'll take to the pitch one final time in search of the school's first soccer state title.

Students at Northside High School in Warner Robins have their very own farm, and it's award-winning.

It was recently recognized as an outstanding middle/secondary school program by the Georgia Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association.

Students say it's well-deserved, and the farm reinforces what they learn in the books.

"We can look at an animal and say she's slobbering out of her mouth, she's blinking slowly and getting sick and stuff. We can really tell that something is wrong with her and we can go ahead and narrow it down and fix it," said Indyja Mitchell.

"I've used all kinds of things in math building the barn," said Hunter Bartholomew.

The program also aims to teach responsibility. Bartholomew, 17, owns Charlie, a steer. He has to keep up with Charlie's record book.

"How much money you've spent on your cow, pounds of feed you've purchased, what you've done from day to day," he said.
