Effective 7/17/2020 all patrons age 5 and over are required to wear a face covering to enter the building. The mandate by the Governor went into effect in Blaine County due to the number of COVID-19 cases in the county. Although at the time this article was written we only had 3 active cases in Blaine County, the library made the decision to continue to require masks regardless of the active case count. It becomes too confusing for many of our patrons if we require masks one day and not the next, so we will continue requiring them until further...

A Noon Thunderstorm came out of the west Monday, bringing with it a very dynamic...

Hogs bogged down in a trough. Cattle trailed off. Chickens flew up to roost at new heights. Eggs cracked up, but then slipped off. Milk was fluid, cheese was firm, and butter churned up and down.

Beans went down easy, but then rattled through the end. Helium was up, feathers were down. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent bulbs dimmed with light trading....
