Hello, Again

I have a milestone birthday coming up in early October, and I thought I’d commemorate it a couple of different ways.

Pott County Fair in the books

This year’s annual Pottawatomie County Free Fair has come and gone and some of those exhibiting animals and participating with their exhibits are headed to the Oklahoma State Fair. Something I don’t think I’ve done much of, if ever, was viewing the rabbits.

Town Talk

Town Talk and the American Legion Auxiliary are hosting an exciting event, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, on Saturday, November 12th. We are bringing the Andrew Sisters, or at least their tribute trio, to Stroud to entertain our veterans as well as anyone else who would like to attend.
