Carter County Museum's Shindig had a different look and feel this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, staff found a way to pull it off, and they were even able to participate in it a little more than usual. All of Saturday's talks were live-streamed for the first time. One hundred fifty-seven participants signed up for "Shindig Island" to access all of the content. Twenty-one people sat in spaced out chairs at St. Elizabeth Lutheran Church to watch the virtual...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it has been a while ago, but we did appreciate the thoughts expressed by a chap who was telling a group of us that there are backbiters out there, haters of You, Lord, proud braggarts, those who are disobedient to their parents, and heartless; and not only that, but that they also encourage others to DO those same things, too! Don’t they realize that there is a death penalty for these crimes as spoken of in Romans, 1:32, “.… that those who practice such things are deserving of deat...
July 24, 2020 - Life during the COVID-19 is pretty dull around here. So I have decided to liven matters up a bit. Now they say don’t bring up politics or religion, if you do you may start trouble, both are great for a hot discussion, so how about religion? I have wanted to do this for a long time. What is that? Defend the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has been kicked around and hated by people all over the world since its very existence and that goes back to its founder, Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, “as the world has...

The 4-H Fair, which is this week in our county, is going to look a lot different because of COVID. Spectators are being asked to stay home and watch the fair on live feeds. Perhaps that will make fair a bit less dramatic and more relaxed. I have been asked to run this column about 4-H Moms again, because even though spectators are discouraged, the moms will still be doing their 4-H mom thing. I hope all moms remember there is a fine line between extremely supportive and downright crazy! Having been a 4-H mom, I can tell you...
This article will be a little different as it will be about a community and some of its history that was unknown to me.

He does a great job. I am going to quote most of his articles which I feel you as readers will enjoy. “One cloudy afternoon in 1882, a buffalo hunt...
