It isn't all cotton candy, rides on the midway and burgers at the 4-H stand...there is the Friday night entertainment that will attract people to the Phillips County Fair. Once a year, the sleepy, quiet little town awakes and hosts the biggest event of the year for the town of less than 200 residents. This year is no exception. The PC Fair Board announced the line-up of entertainment for August 4th with the opening act set to begin at 6 P.M. Tanner Laws made an appearance at the 107th County...
The Malta community will be overtaken with swashbuckling action and adventure in this light-hearted and humorous performance that ventures away from the normal Shakespearean language, when the actors from Montana Shakespeare in the Parks bring the tale of The Three Musketeers to Trafton Park (N 2nd Ave. E Malta, MT) on Wednesday, June 28, at 6:30 p.m. They will enthrall all generations of audience members as they get swept away to 17th-century France, following a young hero's journey as he...
From the peaceful and quiet shores of Lake Audubon, ND, to the vast prairies of Phillips County, Laurel Enyeart made the decision to come west and now calls Malta "home". Thirty years of adventures and challenges are all part of what builds the memories for Laurel. Enyeart has been the face of the pharmacist behind the counter (with her neck kinked upward) for thirty years on June 20. That is quite a milestone, considering the work ethics of youth today and their blatant desire to avoid work....
One could not have asked for a more pleasant day to say "thank you" to their customers, and Co-Manager Cohen Ereaux and "the Boys" did a fine job last Friday.

Count them...400 burgers! Now serving customers in their 76th year of business, Farmers and Ranchers might be the longest continuing storefront business...

On Father’s Day, I went fishing and thought about Dad. I don’t think about him every day. I’m not one to celebrate heavenly birthdays or lament his passing at the age of 90 nearly two decades ago. But I always think about him when I fish. He and I fished together often. We didn’t agree on a lot — religion and politics come to mind. Get us on the water, however, our differences vanished and we were best buds. Dad taught me to fly fish. It wasn’t something many folks did in southern Indiana, an...
We are losing too many people to sadness. Like many in our world, I struggle with sadness. I don’t really do or take anything to take the edge off when I am feeling sad or depressed. I like to try to stay grounded in reality and sometimes reality is depressing to me. I try not to judge anyone for what they do to escape their own sadness. The one thing that I do to help deal with the issues going on in my head may seem crazy to most. I try to torture myself through working out early in the m...

When Dad started school, he didn't know his name was George, as he was always called Buddy since his dad's name was George. He was known by his nickname Bud in the Saco Community and by close friends. Dad was a...
I noticed that some of the alfalfa fields and grassy prairie have been swathed. The swaths look pretty big. It’ll be so nice to get a bunch of bales for the winter! The wildflowers are prolific and add lots of colors to the prairie! I’ve heard a couple of orioles this past week. It’ll be the summer solstice this week so enjoy the long daylight! Rod Stordahl drove me to Billings on Thursday for a Dermatology appointment. We stayed until Sunday so we could attend Brentton Stordahl’s marriag...
It has been warm, and things are growing like mad. It is so nice to see everything so green and all the flowers around. We had a little rain again on Sunday, Father’s Day. Thanks to our wonderful neighbors, Glen and Jerry for their mowing. They are certainly helping to keep everything looking better. Dora Henry was so pleased to have a granddaughter, a great-granddaughter and two great-great-granddaughters and a daughter visit her for a short visit this week. All are from Kansas except her d...
Sympathy to friends of Lloyd Dionne. He will be missed. Well, I just returned from a great vacation. We went to Joliet, Montana to a wedding celebration for Julie (Austin) Crusch and her husband Marvin. It was a wonderful party with lots of guests, despite the rain.

Actually, the party was a real family reunion for the Austins and relations. It was fun! My...

A total of thirteen young anglers and a few extra deckhands attended the event. The group had a total of seven boats.

The Malta High School Gymnasium floor has been completely replaced thanks to the fine work of High Performance Floors (HPF), a company from Lewistown.

Saco's Rhonda Wittmier penned a letter to the PCN, explaining Caves' role in the project, and the camaraderie that Caves and Lalum have built...

"It was their first time in a pool for a while because they have been busy with 4H, camp, and whatever else. This was a test run for them but they did pretty good." The team will head south to Roundup next...
