For many people, Thursday’s Co-Op Day at the Fair entails a momentary stop at the sponsor tent for a complimentary root beer float- and an equally hasty return to other Fair-afternoon happenings. However, this day has more behind it than simply a free cooldown for fairgoers. The event was set in motion in 2000 by Kelly Knaff of the Lower Yellowstone Rural Electric Association, one of the seven original co-ops which contributed to the day. Other members include Richland Federal Credit Union, Farm Credit Services, Mid-Rivers Communications, N...

Last summer I planned a trip to neighboring North Dakota and honestly felt a bit ashamed of myself for not having an adventure in this legendary state sooner. Better late than never I suppose, but I can say it was one of our best vacations and we will be returning to do some camping this summer. We spent part of our first day in Medora, checking out the unique little tourist town, filling up on delicious food, and doing a little shopping. This is home to the well-known Medora Musical and...
Thanks to the inspiration of a few local residents, Wednesday night has now been designated as Car Night at the Shops at Fox Run parking lot. "It's something that I wanted to try," Gene Trudell, one of the organizers of the car shows, said. "There are so many great cars around. We thought we should have a no-strings attached event where we could talk cars." Trudell said no prizes or awards are given. Instead, the prize is sharing fun time together. "It's just to neighbor up for two or three...

(BPT) - Open floor plans, mini-mansions, micro homes - some home design styles and elements shift with the currents of consumer tastes. However, others stand the test of time because they're enduringly useful. Attics or lofts, for example, are a staple of American home design, remaining in demand even as the way we use them has evolved. In bygone eras, attics served largely as storage space - but those were the days before the growth of the self-storage industry. Modern homeowners can stash...

One of these aspects is "staging" your home to be appealing to potential buyers. The Roundup talked to Amanda Seigfreid with Seigfreid Insurance and Real Estate, who works with Missouri River Reality, on what it takes to stage a home. Staging Your Home While Still Living In It "There's a lot of common sense things that should be taken...
To say that I am an amateur gardener is to be very generous with the term; really, I just like to play in the dirt and see if something beautiful comes of it. Gardening is a hobby that anyone can enjoy in some form regardless of money, time, or space. Herb garden on your windowsill anyone? My main project this year is a recently added 24' x 8' flower bed on the east side of our house; the size was, in part, to accommodate three miniature lilac bushes that had to be transplanted. So now I am...

When it comes to preparing an area for a vegetable garden there is one main point to stress: do whatever you possibly can do to limit the amount of "damage" to the soil. Soil damage, refers to soil compaction, breaking soil structure, robbing the soil of nutrients, etc. People frequently get anxious when it finally warms up and conditions are right for working in the soil, but sometimes waiting an extra day or two to let the soil dry out some (or warm up a little) pays off tremendously in the...

A few years ago at a County-wide conference there were some citizens in attendance who wanted to have a place to grow vegetables for those who lived in apartments/campers/or houses with no backyard to do so. These citizens decided that a Community Garden would be the best possible solution to address this situation. The County Commissioners happened to be at the conference as well and decided that, of all of the issues that were raised at the conference, the Community Garden idea was one that could be fairly easily addressed. So with a...

I know how anxious some people get when it finally warms up and conditions are starting to be right for working in the soil but sometimes waiting an extra day or two to let the soil dry out some or warm up a little pays off tre...

Most people will tell you that they can tell when spring has arrived by watching trees bud out or seeing the grass green up, and while that is true for me as well, there is one definitive item that signals to me spring is here, the greenhouses start to go up and fill up. Some businesses that specialize in other items the rest of the year start to roll out flat after flat of annuals, perennials, and vegetables for you to choose from. While I would agree that selecting plants to purchase from these retailers is not rocket science, there are a...
