I’ve noticed that the outdoor skating rink downtown is in perfect condition.
Every Saturday in February there will be a skating party from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the downtown outdoor skating rink beside the Olde Towne Plaza. Bring the kids for a skate or just enjoy a hot chocolate and music by the fire pit.

A man owned a small Ranch In Texas. The Texas Work Force Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent.
“Well,” replied the farmer, “There’s my farm hand who’s been with me for three years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay him $500 per week plus free room and board. Then there’s the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90 per cent of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”
“That’s the guy I want to talk to ... the half-wit,” says the agent.
“That would be me,” replied the Rancher.
