Eating cotton candy is a requirement at a county fair. So is eating fried bread, Indian tacos, and drinking lemonade. I was sitting in the 4-H Chuck Wagon eating the fair special pulled pork, baked beans, and coleslaw in a plastic cup. A little boy waiter came up to me and asked if I wanted him to remove my cup. I said, "No, I'm not through eating yet. I just talk too much." He smiled as to comfort me and said, "My mom does that too." There is only one event that helps Chouteau county residents...
A full Big Sandy Council voted unanimously to fix the pool according to state requirements. As published in the Mountaineer in August, "Leslie Gregory reported the Big Sandy Swimming Pool Inspector showed up for a surprise visit and inspection. Historically, the pool was grandfathered for not meeting the requirements at the beginning because of the age of the pool.

I used to spend the long dusty days of harvest in the stifling cab of an old Ford grain truck.

Would she bring rhubarb upside-down cake, apple pie, angel food slices with lemon icing? There might be Flathead...
Visions of a state championship in 6-man football can only be realized in Big Sandy if the Pioneers are well-balanced this season. Not necessarily in their mix of the running and passing game.
