Through two World Wars, the 1918 Flu Epidemic, The Korean and Vietnam conflicts, and now the COVID-19 outbreak, the Phillips County Fair once again came through with the 105th annual event last weekend in Dodson, allowing the moniker of the "longest contiguous fair" to still ring true in the State of Montana. "Would just like to thank everyone for braving the heat and supporting the fair once again. We are grateful we were able to put the fair on," said Phillips County Fair Board member Eric...
Though they had no idea what or how many entries to expect at the 105th Phillips County Fair in Dodson last week, the Phillips County Fair Board members who oversee the Open Class contests were pleasantly pleased with how things shook out.

In May of this year, the Malta City Council was tasked with lowering the amount of stray cats around town and after much discussion and several plans, a group of local animal lovers formed the non-profit group "Malta Trap, Neuter Return" (MTNR) to get this problem more manageable. "Basically, we started our nonprofit to trap neuter release the stray cats in town to cut down the population," said group President Raelynn Jean Robinson. "It is the gold standard in most cities because it works. It...
The Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic recently held Hospital Week after postponing the event early in the year and concluded last week with an Olympic-style ceremony in which the winners were crowned. This year, the hospital and clinic decided the week would include Summer Olympics-the Corona Games (not to make light of the COVID-19 issues facing this country, but rather in an attempt to normalize the day-to-day life at the hospital.) Food was served all week, each day of the wee...

I don’t know if it’s the months of social distancing or simply old age, but I’m barely presentable in public these days. My wife keeps telling me to zip up my pants. Not that I’m embarrassed to be unzipped in front of her, however, I doubt she’s the only to have noticed. I fear I’ll soon be known as that old dude who doesn’t zip up his pants. At least I’ve been keeping to myself. For many years I covered prep and college basketball for the Livingston Enterprise, the Bozeman Chronicle, and the Ph...
And now it is August! The month of harvest, one of the most stressful times of the year for the farmer/rancher! Some people love harvest. It means a less stressful time and the fruits of all your hard work now can be realized. Other people don't like it so much. They think about the end of summer and the beginning of the cruelest time of year, winter! Several people have commented about the saga of my flycatcher! I'm happy to report that all four babies fledged on Tuesday! They flew over to the...
We have been experiencing some very hot weather and the weather map looks like it is to continue for at least another week. We did have a little rain last Thursday that cooled it for a very short time. People from away from here had asked about grasshoppers as they have been bad in some places. I had not noticed many here but yesterday while picking raspberries I found lots in the bushes. Hope they do not get too bad before harvests are done. Velyma Broadhead and Dora picked raspberries and...
Does the name “Beavertown” sound familiar? It was one of the booming “h” towns of yesteryear. Located near Beaver Creek (from which, it presumably, was named) it was the nearest town for homesteaders on the Saco divide and the ranches located on Larb Creek. Saco was near but many times Beaver Creek made it impossible to reach Saco due to its flooding. The town boasted a lumberyard, a blacksmith shop, grain elevator, Hotel, bar, post office, grocery store, and school. The school was grand with a lower level that hosted classrooms and a second fl...

Am I the only one who is tired of dirty politics? It is hard to believe that it is August. Happy birthday to all August birthdays, including my son, Mitchell Moore. A late happy birthday to July birthdays I missed including Pat Murdock. They had a nice birthday cake for her birthday. The Phillips County Fair was different this year, due to the virus.
