Banner County News

The Banner/Kimball Fair has been going on since Monday and will continue through to next Monday; sale day is Aug. 10. Good beef and hog products for your freezer. Show day for hogs is Friday, Aug. 7, at 8 a.m., and for the beef it is Saturday, Aug. 8. So from now on if you see any big black steers walking around Harrisburg better call Stan, they don’t belong to my kids.

Football practice will officially begin on Monday, Aug. 10, and school will officially begin one week later. I am not ready.

The regular school board meeting of the Banner County School will be held in the school cafeteria on Monday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. Everyone is encouraged and invited to attend. The school sustained quite a lot of hail damage like most everyone else.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Banner resident Eugene Snyder. He lived here many years until health issues moved them to the valley. Our sympathy goes out to Rita and the rest of the family.

Those Banner Countyites celebrating a birthday this month include: Robert Gifford, Josh Cox, Lois Dillinger, Sonja Lind, Joe Bayerl, Alli Rose Cooper and Jerry Weeks. Happy, Happy Birthday

Anniversary couples are Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Lease, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Pahl, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Griffiths, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cochran and Mr. and Mrs. Dustin Fulk.

You all know that we had the once- in - a- blue - moon moon last week, right? Well, I have a friend that never bakes...only, once in a blue moon. Yep, she made a great cake last Sunday, and celebrated with some us. Too bad those moons don’t come around more often!

Well, this is really short this week, which is an indication of the time of year. Harvest is still underway in some areas, fair is underway, and school is about to be underway. Seriously, where has the summer gone?
