Well, I’m back from a great vacation from Branson. Well-deserved time away, but couldn’t wait to get back. So let’s get to it.

Well, it's getting dry: wet spring, dry summer.  Man, do we need some rain.  I sprained my ankle in a crack in my backyard it was so big.  Anyway, that's summer in Missouri.

Man, what a week, it was crazy.  Yes, it was snowing at DQ last weekend during Christmas in July.  It was a blast, lots of people enjoying that great food and all of the giveaways, it was just like Christmas with the music, movies and decorations.  I think Santa was close.

This week has been great, a little hot, but what the heck. We need some rain, it's getting dry and with no rain in sight for another week, the sprinklers are in full operation and the farmers are praying for rain.

Wow, what a week!  No temperatures in the 90s and lows in the 60s.  I can deal with this.  Let me tell you, with temps like that, everyone has been out and about.

Wow, nothing like jumping from the frying pan into the fire!  It's been hot, but hey, it's summertime baby.  So get out those shorts and flip flops and get outside!

Wow, what an awesome day at the Sedalia Rod & Gun Club!  Last Saturday, we had about 300 people show up to the event, with over 100 of them fishing at one time.  The Kansas City Retrievers Club put on Retriever exhibitions, and those dogs are awesome.  All of the archery events were a big hit.  The Traveling Panthers Little League Team provided lunch.  We had kettle corn, bounce houses, vendor

What did I tell you?  We're out of the cooler and into the fire with mid-90s this week.  What the heck happened to the mid-80s?  Oh well, I guess it couldn't last, but it's summertime and that means getting outside, hitting the great outdoors and having a redneck good time (no pun intended, you'll be getting a red neck from the sunburn).

The First Annual Great Outdoors Family Fun Day will be held at the Sedalia Rod & Gun Club from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. this weekend.

Here we go again, another busy weekend with something for everybody in Sedalia.  It all starts on Saturday with the Blues Cruise and BBQ and tailgate competition.  Come set up your tailgate just like you do when you attend an event and you could win...
