My Thoughts On Mount Rushmore Protests
Good morning Banner County! We have put July 4th, 2020 behind us with picnics, fireworks, family & fun.
Not to mention the rodeo! Beautiful weather, wild horses,and no broken bones. Good all the way around. Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.
We all also honored our service men & women past and currently employed with music, flags, and deep appreciation.
While President Trump and the First Lady were at Mount Rushmore so were some protesters.
Blocking the road between Keystone & Mount Rushmore. I had family as far as Keystone and was not impressed with the stupidity and lopsidedness of the protesters.
Yes, they have the right to protest.
Everyone else also has the right to drive on the roads they are blocking, continue their vacations, and get to Mount Rushmore if they so choose.
We here in Banner County have lost a long time resident with the passing of Wendy Domina. One fine mechanic and the man who built all of our street signs here in Harrisburg.
We send our sympathy to his family.
This past weekend we did see combines getting after that wheat and I know of at least one family that finished up. It sure looks ready just about everywhere.
Hope they finish soon because we sure do need some rain! No hail, just rain.
Today, Thursday July 9th, three events will be taking place in the valley.
