I've had some changes to what I do at work here over the past year, and I've found that I've had to completely rehaul the way I do my work. It got me thinking about how everybody else gets stuff done.
At the NFPB Bullriding at the Mathewson Center in Sedalia last weekend (Feb. 15), I took up the challenge of playing Cowboy Poker, where four people sit at a card table in the ring with a wild bull. The last one touching the table wins.
Last weekend (Feb 1 and 2) the 2014 Cabin Fever Sports show took place with a lot of cool stuff and a lot of fun for the whole family. Despite the road conditions, crowds still came out to explore all the neat vendors and activities.
The very first Sedalia New Year's Day Parade may have had cold conditions on Wednesday (Jan. 1), but 16 units braved the elements to showcase their groups and organizations.

This train has operated for 13 years and its goal is to not only bring holiday cheer to those who visit it, but they also provide funds to the local Salvation Army at each of their stops along the way. The Holiday Express as it is called has raised over $1
On Tuesday night (Nov 26), I was lucky enough to participate in the Child Safe Dessert Auction at the Celebration Center in Sedalia. It was a great event that raised over $5,000 for the Child Safe program of Central Missouri.
I found a pretty interesting article about a weird Thanksgiving tradition from the past. About 100 years ago, kids didn't go trick-or-treating on Halloween, they did it on Thanksgiving. It was called "Thanksgiving Masking." Kids would dress up as beggars and hobos, wear masks and go door-to-door for candy and pennies. No one's exactly sure when it ended, but it lasted in some areas thr
It's been 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed while riding in a motorcade through Dallas, Texas. More words have been written about this event (and its aftermath, and what led up to it) than just about anything else, so we thought we'd take a look back through photographs and video.
