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).
