Thanksgiving, of course, is a time to pause and reflect about all the good in our lives, but what exactly are we thankful for this year?
November 22, 2013 There are so many talented, creative, and passionate people in our area. In fact, we see it just about every day and it can be easy to forget. And it's not just here in Sedalia. Our neighbors to the south, Cole Camp, have some great stuff going for them this weekend!

Thanksgiving is only a few days away, and I have my elastic sweatpants ready!

I don't eat it, I never have, I don't even know what's in it, and the fact that it's called pink stuff frightens me.

Sadly, families get smaller every year, and sometimes those families are touched by cancer, heart disease, or other ailments. You can remember those you've lost with a great memorial at Bothwell Regional Health Center.
