In the fall of 1974, rancher George Robinson made an interesting find on an isolated ridge in the southern reaches of Phillips County. On the ridge was an unexploded bomb, about two feet long and four inches in diameter. According to an account in the Phillips County News on Oct. 3, 1974, Robinson summoned Sheriff Pete Messerly and the two men brought the bomb to the National Guard armory in Malta. An Air Force bomb team from Utah arrived soon thereafter and took the bomb out of town and...

Dear Editor, I recently was informed that the Phillips County Commissioners have made a decision that puts the fate of the Boy Scout Phillips County fair booth in jeopardy. They have made the decision that after the 2024 fair is completed, the food booth will be torn down. They want to erect the new grandstands in the same area where the Scout booth is standing and are unwilling to move to another site. Really guys, WHY??? You state that the county did not own the building and have been provided a copy of the bill of sale dated July 29, 1994,...
I stepped out my back door last week to be greeted by a flag bearing the f-word in foot-high letters. It was mounted on a decrepit vehicle parked next to my property, and only steps away from the gymnasium where children had attended a basketball camp earlier that day. I wondered if they had seen it. The flag was political in intent, but obscene on purpose. Some idiot, I’m sure, thought they were being funny. I didn’t. I was mad, and a bit disappointed to see such a public display of obs...

Even though Crazy Days (actually Crazy Day) was more or less canceled, the Dinosaur Museum held their annual Dino Day, which allowed the young and adventurous at heart an opportunity to dig into the past, back into the days of dinosaurs, and have fun while doing it.

Perhaps it was an event similar to this where the inspiration for the song, "Digging Up...
