Sharpen your sweet tooth. TERI LATHAM called the Ear with a tasty morsel to pass on: The JELLY BELLY BUS will be in front of ABECO Office Systems, at 1332 Commercial St., from noon to 4 p.m. Monday, June 27. The wildly colorful bus takes up seven parking spaces, Teri said. The best part is that the bus will be giving out free candy samples. So grab the kiddos and get some goodies.

While youre waiting for the bus to arrive, to keep the thought of jelly beans dancing in your head, you might want to check out jelly bean art (no, not kidding) at www.jellybelly.com/fun_stuff/index.aspx
