This week a special gift arrived for the Food Bank. Two young girls (in grades 2-3), held a lemonade stand at the lake. They raised $59.70 and made a lot of people very happy on a hot day. Lily and Ella learned about the importance of supporting the Food Bank at school, and even though it has…
Thirty years ago today, Sue Hendrickson, a fossil hunter, found three large 65 million-year-old bones jutting out of a cliff, near the city of Faith, South Dakota.
