It’s a day quite a few locals look forward to and usually brings in people from surrounding towns. There’s something special about late sp...

Buckwheat seed has the potential to contaminate commodity wheat crops when grown prior or adjacent to whe...
This year, the school district is in a much better place. As we approach summer, there aren't as many places to fill as last year. “We have a fourth-grade position (teacher) applied for. She's an experienced teacher coming to us by way of Winnett. Before that, she was the UN Western Educator of the Year. She is hardworking and very student-centered.
