Icy Snowdays Photo Collection

We encouraged those who follow us on Facebook to share photos of their winter views over the weekend, and several locals responded by posting an image or two.

County Election Prep: Know Who’s Running

The March 3 Republican Primary election will be here before we know it, and since the filing deadline has passed, we wanted to share a comprehensive list of Falls County candidates that will appear on the ballot when voters head to the polls. All candidates listed below are registered Republicans, except for a lone Democrat on the ballot, F.A. Green, Sr., who currently holds the Falls County Commissioner Pct. 2 position. He is being challenged by a Republican opponent (David Fitz).
