Farming everglades style
One of the many fond memories I have growing up as an Ohio farm kid was of something called John Deere Days. Back in my generation, local farm equipment dealerships were small and as numerous as ice cream flavors. John Deere Days was an annual winter event, about this time each year, where all John Deere dealerships in Ohio (and maybe nationwide) circulated a film (now do you realize how long ago that was) that depicted unusual and often unheard-of farming operations around the country and around the world. These were interspersed with clips that high-lighted all the new John Deere farm machinery for the year, like combines with cabs and massive twelve-foot headers… YIKES! Of course, the evening began with ham sandwiches and potato chips before the film.

Recent activities at the Kiowa County Senior Center in Greensburg have included a Quilts of Valor presentation to Harold Tucker on Monday, Jan. 16.

It was fantastic and I would encourage other senior centers in the area to reach out to her at Bucklin Hilltop House to have her come to you!
