Bad advice? At least it's free...

The 77th annual Hume fair and rodeo is all set to run July 30th through August 3rd, and there's lots on the schedule.

The theme this year is Blue Jeans 'n Country Dreams so you can plan your parade float accordingly. Booth space is available by contacting Erika at 660-424-0644. And yes, it looks like Old Coots Giving Advice (see photo) will be on hand to steer you in the wrong direction free-of-charge as well.

Let's meet the candidates:
