We went down to Texas at the end of October to catch a Dallas Cowboys football game. My daughter, Melody, and her family paid for our trip down South to include that game, plus a Maverick's basketball game, and a night at the theatre to catch the musical "The Little Shop of Horrors" at the iconic Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas. We stayed at the Westin on La Colima St. There was a Men's Conference taking place at the hotel, and I thought I saw a familiar face. Was that who I thought it was?...
Bulk Water Hearing The Hearing took place to discuss the increase of the bulk water dispenser from $1.50 for175 gallons to $2.00 for 175 gallons.

No more, no less.” Community members commented that the last time the bulk water was discussed, Joe Voss commented (with regard to Prairie Water...

He immediately recognized that the remote gold fields would be extremely valuable to the Union and the gold camps needed their own territorial government. He convinced Congress in May of 1864 to create the Montana...

She said she has had four potential buyers in the last four months back off when they discover Cascade prohibits short-term rentals. "This has been extremely...

It expanded to include all people because of the positive past visitor responses to Native events hosted by them and their partners. There is a need in our communities to elevate Indigenous v...
