MY HUSBAND, PETER, AND I went to our first concert in the park last night. We brought our folding chairs and ate food from the food trucks. The weather was perfect, and the music was good. But upstaging the band were a pair of juvenile squirrels in the trees overhead, challenging one another to feats of greater and greater daring. I half expected to have an adolescent squirrel land in my lap.

If you have an antique or classic tractor, or know a family member or friend who does, it’s high time to get signed up for the second Deaf Smith County Historical Society Jubilee of Tractors and Festival in the Park.

Canadian Rotarians sprang into action early Tuesday morning to line Main Street with American flags, in observance of Flag Day. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the Second Continental Congress paused in their writing of the Articles of Confederation to pass a resolution, stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Over 100 years later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day.
