Are you ready to say goodbye to summer? Have you gotten out your slow cooker yet? (Mine rarely sees the inside of the storage cupboard.) As summer turns into fall, it’s nice to take one last longing tasteful glance at fresh vegetable salads, berries filling the fridge and pie tins, and the whiff of grilled beef on the patio. But wait a minute. We live in the get-anything-you-want grocery market era. You can still have fresh tomatoes on a grilled burger. Maybe not picked out of your back yard s...

Welcome to Pine Bluffs Trail Days! I’m Summer Bowman, daughter of Lyle & Sheila Bowman. I am almost 17 and a junior in high school where my favorite sports are volleyball and track and favorite classes are AG, band and choir. I have shown livestock in 4H since I was 8 and FFA for the last four years. I enjoy showing horses and my mule in western riding classes. I also show market lambs and market goats. They are both fun animals with fun, playful personalities. My main goal each year is to w...
6 marks the 63rd annual celebration of Pine Bluffs Trail Days. Presiding over the festivities this year is queen Summer Bowman. Until the 1970s, a new queen and attendant were chosen each year. In some years, there were more than one attendant, so many young ladies served as just queen or just attendant. After 1970, just an attendant was chosen yearly, and then moved up to queen the following year. The following is a list of Pine Bluffs Trail Days queens and attendants beginning in 1952. No...

Brian Stevens remembers talent shows when he was a child. “I teach piano lessons and didn’t have enough students for a recital so I thought, why not a talent show,” smiled Stevens. “This first year we have mostly musical acts, but I hope it expands to different talents next year.” Stevens said the response for the show was “fantastic,” and is already planning for next year. With the help of Jeff Weller, Stevens attracted 20 acts for the show that he emceed while Weller added “comic relief...

Cheyenne Frontier Days kicked off last weekend. The music, the cowboys, the rides, and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t pay homage to the food. Next to Old Frontier Town on your walk over to Indian Village, is a section of chuck wagons. Most days they boil, sear, and bake meals our pots and pans haven’t even imagined. The cast iron skillet and dutch oven are staples for campfire cooking. But just because you own a Kenmore, doesn’t mean you can’t try your skills in cast iron. If you’re looking for su...

Right now the grills are as busy as a bee at the Rose Bowl Parade. It’s so hot, though, no one is thinking football or flowers. Just focusing on the tick-tick-tick-whoosh of the sprinkler and little giggling voices coming from the swimming pool. Not even the hum of the air conditioner can drown out the gurgle of your stomach. It’s dinner time. Grill time. Just in time to accompany grilled creations, farmers markets are in full swing. Giant juicy tomatoes, stalks of asparagus, fresh-dug car...
It looked more like a three-step or two-step but the young, old and middle aged alike enjoyed the cool breezes of table top fans as they sashayed Sunday afternoon at the Historic High School in Pine Bluffs. The Dalton Fuller Band strummed many tunes, including pop country hits such as the “Watermelon Crawl” while over 30 couples from Pine Bluffs, Sidney, Cheyenne and Scottsbluff danced away a summer afternoon. Cowboy hats, iced tea and lemonade along with personal drinks kept everyone cool unt...

Red, purple, pink, and every shade in between is starting to pop up in the produce isle, on bushes, trees and shrubs. These little orbs and funny looking fruits are tempting us to eat healthier and sweeter. They can also help us cool off this summer with drinks and cool treats for our tables. I discovered Mojitos at my sister’s home a few summers ago. They are usually mixed with rum, but knowing I come with four non-drinkers, she added the rum to the adult drinks. All four of my children s...
The Pine Bluffs Lions Club gathered over 20 history buffs at the Texas Trail Museum lawn early Saturday morning. The group would make seven stops and take steps through decades of Pine Bluffs history. Among the attendees were Pine Bluffs councilman Alan Curtis, town attorney Alex Davison and his wife Esther who is the chairman of the Laramie County School District No. 2 board, and Jack Bomhoff who is a trustee for LCSD 2. The tour bus traveled north of Pine Bluffs to the national registered... Full story
Boom; a deep, prolonged, resonant sound. A loud, sudden, explosive noise, as the discharge of a gun. That is what happens at a fireworks factory on an hourly basis. Just think if you could safely create a few booms for yourself. Interested? It is always a little scary and exciting for a child to take a tiny wire flashing white hot lava-looking sparks from an adult they love. But once in their hands, the sky is their canvas for neon paintings. Some of us have grown up. The thrill is gone from... Full story

Between the heat, the popping and family and friends visiting, by the time dusk settles in across your piece of independence, you might need a little sparkle to light up your evening. Sparkle cake has been around for a while and recipes for it have been passed from generation to generation. There are ladies in my church family that can make the best angel food cake. And it’s said if you can master that, you can do anything in life. No fear, my non-baking friends. This recipe can work with an a...
So, the kitchen is where the firework got its humble beginning. I guess the saying, “It’s too hot in the kitchen,” is not just about the stove. From scaring spirits away at the Chinese New Year events to warm July evenings across the United States, I’d say that is one recipe for success. But what about those folks who knowingly get down low and close to four inch mortar shells containing enough firepower to light up the night sky? And with a lighted flare nonetheless. That is the job, albeit...
