Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Going, going, gone! And August is upon us. Can you believe it?
Good morning Banner County, friends near and far. I hope if you are in the middle of wheat harvest that the recent hail storms have missed you. Quite a lot of it south of Gering on Sunday to start things off.
Now we are looking at County Fairs. They will diffidently be different this year from any I have ever been a part of, but I am thankful that the kids can have fair/sales at all.
Bridgeport has been going all this week and they will have a Midnight demolition Derby this Saturday, July 25th beginning at 7 p.m. I love those things, but don’t know about the midnight part! Fair is kicking in at Sioux County also and with shows all week they will have a rodeo at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 31st, another one on August 2nd at 1 p.m. and then a demolition derby that evening at 6:30 p.m.
The Kimball/Banner County Fair will begin the first week of August.
Until Fair time we have Bands on Broadway this evening, Thursday July 23rd at the 18th Street plaza in Scottsbluff beginning at 6-9 p.m. Also on this date the movie at the SkyView Drive-In will be “Monsters vs. Aliens” (PG) and on the 25th they will have an interesting event from Encore Drive-In Nights where they will present Blake Shelton.
