If you haven’t had a chance to participate in the Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lincoln Early Childhood Council (CKLECC) Fun Tote Program now is a great time! The program is designed for ages 0 to 8 years old. The program is a great way for parents and caregivers to interact with their children at home by working on important developmental milestones. The totes are also a way to prepare children to be more school ready when they begin Kindergarten.

The Bent-Prowers Cattle & Horse Growers Association donated $1,000 to the Northeast Colorado Fire Disaster Fund during its March board meeting. The disaster funds were an opportunity for local ranchers to help their fellow ranchers in Phillips and Logan counties needing assistance with fire recovery.
The six-county board also voted to nominate Curtis Russell of Sugar City for Colorado Cattlemen’s Association Southeast Colorado Quarter representative. Current rep Bill Hancock of Rocky Ford has declined to seek another term.
