All of us here wish you all a very blessed Easter. I am thankful for this weekend’s moisture. I’m very thankful this moisture didn’t come in snow & the 10-day forecast looks more favorable. Won’t be long & planters will be rolling. Hats off to the 4-County Fair & their very successful fundraising steak fry Sat. night. We all love the fair!
