Once again, the 4th of July fireworks display; potluck dinner, parade and tribute to our flag ceremony were a huge success at the K A Hall in Sheridan Lake.  A large crowd of community members, bicyclers and harvest hands enjoyed the evenings activities.  A big thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Harvest is back in full swing again and most everyone is happy about the high yields, but not the price.  I can remember years ago when we would have been in seventh heaven for the yields and the price.  Such is farming!
