Power outage in Rich Hill

As some of you have noticed the north part of Rich Hill is without power at this time. Osage Valley is on scene and working diligently to make repairs as fast as possible.

They are expecting power to be out for a few hours due to several poles that have to be replaced due to damage from the failure of a large tree.

Thank you Bill

Thank you to Bill Padley, this man is 89 years young. He came out this morning and put in 2 solid hours of painting in support of the Adrian Optimist Club and our youth and the Bates County Mounted Posse .

Thanks again Bill! - Courtesy of the Adrian Optimist Club!
