The 2012 Pettis County Relay For Life is set to take place this Friday on the Missouri State Fairgrounds. In this event, teams are formed and they raise funds through pledges and other fund raising events leading up to the relay.  On Saturday night starting at 6, walkers will take turns going around the track for 12 hours.

One thing you always hear about in Cole Camp is about the German heritage they have.  My family is part German, and it seems like about a third of Cole Camp is related to us in one way or another, either by cousinry or by marriage.  So when I saw this event, I thought it was something that the people in Sedalia and the surrounding areas might want a little more information on.  It's called Sangerf

What's the first thing you did when you finally got the chance to borrow your parent's car?  Change the radio station and play your music loud!  At least that was the case for me.  Although my parents listened primarily to talk radio, and at 16, that just isn't going to fly.

As Americans, we owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women of our armed forces who have fought and in some cases given the ultimate sacrifice to achieve the ends of life and liberty at home and abroad.

Kids, today I have not only learned a new word, but I finally have more equipment in my shopping arsenal when going to the grocery store.

Let me preface this with one simple fact: I am NOT a fashionable person.  I wear jeans (usually black), polo shirts and casual shoes.  I lack the ability to go into a store and say "I like the way that looks and want it."  Judging by the fact that there was a reality show called "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy," I'm not alone.  But I HAVE learned one or two things over the year

Okay kids, I know we don't live in a big city.  We here in the Sedalia area don't have to deal with too much in terms of traffic. Having said that, I KNOW I can't be the only person who gets annoyed at the way "some people's children" drive in this town.

UPDATE: Congratulations to our finalists! One of these people will win our 14' boat and trailer at our exclusive giveaway party at DQ Grill and Chill on South Limit this Saturday, June 30.
