Sadie's Cafe recently hosted their second painting event on Thursday night. Artists gathered around and watched as Ashley Hottell gave a lesson on how to bring their blank canvases to life.

Some artists had bears, wolves and even elk. Hottell was on hand to do a one on one help and instruction if needed....

The national news media continues to rant about the increasing “spike” in the number of COVID cases. Being the media they really don’t say how cases are being counted though. Wyoming is no different. The reporting is confusing and doesn’t state the facts so they can be understood by most people. Our cumulative numbers are continuing to rise but the rate of positive results based on the number of tests performed has only increased by 0.038%. That’s not a great change since we have increased the number of tests performed by 20.75%. As of Januar...
In 2020 nurseries ran out of seeds, shrubs, trees and nearly everything else we need to plant our gardens in the spring. Even more surprising, they ran out early in the season. It wasn't even only the local nurseries either. Everyone, nationwide, ran out. Even the big national suppliers. Some stocks weren't replenished until December 2020. I suspect it was due to COVID and more people were staying home, looking for something to do. I'm very happy that an unusually large number of people turned...

With two of my uncles that had served in the military, I also would share military history with two cousins whom had served as well." stated Baker. From high...
Plank 6 ECONOMY, EMPLOYMENT, AND TAXES: This plank is a real doozy. It is a clear representation of the Democrats’ desire to turn us into a Socialist country where the government would control everything about our lives. Turning our country Socialist would “fundamentally change the United States” (Barack Obama’s first campaign), effectively destroying our country as we know it. We know that Democrats support unions. I do believe that at one point in our history the unions were necessary and the only way to obtain the changes that needed to occu...

Who doesn’t have memories of sitting with the family on Sunday afternoon and watching dad’s favorite team playing football. Then there is the Super Bowl and the refreshments and foods that go with it. Or sitting in the bleachers at the local high school cheering on our loved ones and their team as they run up and down the field. Football has become so much of our past time and much of our young students high school life that we sometimes wonder if their life does not revolve around the sport instead of academia. Where did this large part of...
You are losing your freedom! I am losing my freedom! Our children are on the verge of not even knowing what freedom is! Look around at what’s happening in our country. We’ve watched the Democrats and liberal Republicans exert an enormous amount of energy trying to eliminate our rights as protected by the U.S. Constitution. Conservatives have, for the most part, stood back and watched others fight the fight. Sometimes we’ve sent money and sometimes we’ve just shrugged our shoulders and turned away to other interests. We can’t afford to turn a...
