The first volleyball game of the season is a junior high game at Holly on August 28. The first home volleyball game of the season is September 4 with Campo. Both the junior high and the high school play. Come out and support your Hawks!
The Kiowa County Fair is rapidly approaching. The Sheridan Lake Livewires are interested in any information from 4-H alumni of either Towner or Sheridan Lake that would fit the fair theme "Pages from the Past." Call Megan or Brenda Fickenscher or Kami or Linda Stum if you have any information or if you are interested in possibly participating in the fair parade with the Livewires.
Please accept my apologies for not making the deadline for the news last week. Sometimes things just get so busy I can't remember everything!
