For individuals trapped in their vehicles, the faster they...
In a show of a little more normality than we have seen in the past few months, the council was able to hand out their Mayoral Scholarships this past Monday. While the students did not get to finish out the year in class, they were still working hard to make grades that allowed for them to get into their college of choice. This year the council awarded two scholarships to two of the many deserving seniors. Reagan Pachel was the first recipient and is planning to use those funds to attend the...
Monday’s town council meeting saw yet another discussion about opening the pool. While residents find themselves angry and confused over the inability to open the pool this year, council has determined that the cost of trying to open and maintain the pool for the short amount of time that it would be open is just not conducive to the already skimmed down budget. Residents were available to discuss some of the options that they had come up with to help with some of those costs. Residents discussed the fact that they had come up with possible don...

By now I think everyone can see it coming. Huge temperature swings early. A cool, but dry, spring. Hot temperatures and dry winds sweeping across Wyoming now. The western portion of the state is in a mild drought. We aren't. At least not yet. So far we're a small pocket that still has normal moisture. Or do we? I don't know about you but my pasture isn't coming out the way it normally does. By now I should have grass nearly two feet tall. It isn't even a foot. True, the goats are eating it, but...
The Wyoming Rodeo Association came to Pine Bluffs this weekend to hold their annual small-town rodeo. This event occurs in many of the surrounding states in their small towns and the association is doing their best to ensure that the state of Wyoming and the rodeo remain synonymous. While the COVID situation was a factor in some of the entries, there were still plenty of participants for the two-day affair. Pine Bluffs local Charity Hoar was able to snag third place in the Breakaway event and wh...
Pine Bluffs Sunday Market has started once again and is doing simply fine at its new location at the community center. While the first market did not have as many vendors as we have seen in the past, the next one is promising even more vendors. While the turn out for this market was a little light, more options will prove to be a good draw for more customers. With the wind doing its best to knock everyone down representatives from Scentsy, Back Yard Creations, and Paparazzi were available for...
You watch him come down the hall, his uniform all intact, neat and sharp. He pats you on the head or gives you a playful swat on the backside, before he heads over to mom, to say goodbye. Sometimes, his good-byes are just for the day and he will be back at the end of his shift, or they are for months at a time because he has gone TDY overseas. Yes, we are the daughters of a soldier, a military man, whether it be Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard and Reserves. We know the drill...Dad...
