These Are The Days For Wind, Summer Fun

Good morning! Well, wind is the word of the day. Took one of our stock tanks and folded it up like a taco shell. Not to mention sucking all moisture out of everything. So, let’s have a calmer week!

Today, June 23rd, if you or anyone you know might be interested in gaining information about any military service or academy and the opportunities they have, there will be an informative session from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the Third District Service Academy Open House at the Leid Library in Scottsbluff.
