It’s PAPER DAY! Happy Thursday, dear readers.
This week we have a delightful story of love and romance that’s lasted half a century. Happy upcoming anniversary to the Aplanalps of Rangely, and thank you for sharing your story! In sports, there’s an update on the Meeker youth archery program, which has produced a couple of state champions and is gearing up for national competition.
Also, if you missed picking up a program at the Meeker High School graduation ceremony last Saturday, it’s included in this week’s edition. I say it every year, but the upcoming generation gives me hope for the future.
