It's officially RODEO season!

The 2011 parade heads toward the Butler square

Butler Saddle Club rodeo is this weekend June 15th, 16th and 17th...

Hailed to be the best yet, this year's Butler Saddle Club Rodeo opens with mutton bustin and the wild horse race- followed by the 60th annual MRCA, URA and ACRA rodeo at the Bates County Fairgrounds. All followed by a dance Saturday night and Cowboy Church Sunday morning at 11 a.m.

The 2012 parade theme is "60 Years of Old Days and Cowboy Ways" and departs the fairgrounds at 11:45 Saturday morning and ends on the Butler square. Get your entries ready.

Again, we'd like to congratulate the Butler Saddle club on providing 60 years of quality, family oriented entertainment!

Burn ban temporarily lifted...

From the desk of Fire Chief Jim Henry 

 The "no burning" order has been lifted for two days by Fire Chief Jim Henry. Due to the rain, you may burn on June 11th and 12th if needed.. then the "no burning" order will continue until sufficient rain has been received.

Thanks for the rain...

RUNNING FOR IT- This person makes a mad dash back to his
car during the downpour in Adrian this morning

We finally got some rain... maybe a little too little, a little too late. Either way we'll take all we can get for now.

We have a lingering chance of rain today but he next possibility of the wet stuff will be Wednesday (20%), Thursday (60%) and Friday (40%).

The heat index for Friday is expected to be close to 110 with a hot weekend to follow.

Visiting With Missouri’s Silver Haired Legislature

From the desk of Senator David Pearce

Early this week, I had the honor of speaking with several members of the Silver Haired Legislature (SHL). The pride these fine folks display in their local communities is inspiring, as is their continued involvement and care for our state government. The SHL is an elected body of citizens aged 60 and older who volunteer their time to advocate for legislation relating to Missouri’s older adults. This group is a grass roots organization that takes concerns from the local communities to regional meetings, to the state convention in the fall where the top five concerns are addressed in a model legislative session. I had the opportunity to speak to these men and women at the Care Connection regional meeting on many topics concerning today’s aging population, including legislation from the recent session and current budget items of interest.
