The last time the Casey Donahew Band stepped on stage at the Phillips County Fair in Dodson was in 2015 at the 100th annual event when he opened for Clay Walker and when he was asked what people should expect at that show, he answered that question with a question of his own: "Other than the greatest time they have ever had?" Donahew and the boys will co-headline the 104th Phillips County Fair Concert this Saturday, August 3 at 7 p.m. with fellow Country Music stars the Randy Rogers Band and...

Each final Sunday of July each of the last three years, friends and families have gathered in Loring for "Sunday Fun Day" and though the winds whipped across the prairie at last Sunday's Fun Day, when all was said and done, the event once again was deemed a success.

The waterslides Wasson references were those of Malta’s Salsbery Brothers Water S...

Like any grandparent, I’m proud of my grandchildren, and see great promise in their future. Some of them have already begun to show an athletic prowess that I never had. Others are more accomplished students than I was, and all of them are far better looking than me. One in particular, however, appears to have a special gift for – of all things – fishing. My 6-year-old grandson would rather fish than eat. Last weekend at the lake he schooled us all in catching perch. Using a Superman rod and ree...
It went against everything I know, but it’s all over. So, I took the leap with my wife. To sell our family SUV and get a van. Ugh, a minivan. The day that PJ was born in June of 2012, we realized that our car’s air conditioning was not adequate and that we needed to upgrade our vehicle. I took over the search and found a sports utility vehicle that we have grown in and have enjoyed. Fast forward to today and I get a little emotional that we had to upgrade. That SUV felt like my last tie to truly being young. I am no longer in a “cool” family...

As of Wednesday, people may access some portions of the building from the front entrance. While I was on vacation, I went to the Pacific Ocean, at Greyland and...
