    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Aug 11, 2018

    Everything needs a sequel nowadays and my column from a few weeks ago on Things I Know but Don’t Understand is no exception so here goes. •I know my dog fell in my window well but I don’t understand after three years why now. And I don’t understand since she’s the one who loves to bark at everything … and nothing … why she remained silent even when I was calling for her. She was fine by the way. I told her sister, who was outside with her at the time, that Lassie would have told me where she was so I didn’t have to go outside hollering for h...

  • Table-ready vs. show-ready: Businesses offer new award for livestock at county fair

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Aug 11, 2018

    WORLAND - Is an animal shown at the county fair show-ready or table-ready and can they be both? That is a question that three local businesses determined to find out and subsequently to reward those youth with industry-standard table-ready animals at this year's Washakie County Fair. "It was a lesson in economics and capitalism," Steve Tharp of Tharp Veterinary Service said.

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Aug 11, 2018
