Our Valley Home Park committee would once again like to say thank you to each and every one who supported our spaghetti feed fundraiser. It was a huge success and very greatly appreciated. Every donation given was very deeply appreciated and will help very much with our beautiful Community Park.

We end this week’s column by honoring the amazing legacy of a great man. Those of you who love rodeo and the rural way of life … we have all lost a true legend. There are few people that are true ‘Legends’ … in my humble opinion … RFD TV’s Mr. Patrick Gottsch was definitely one of those men. He touched the lives of so many. He believed strongly in the Cowboy way of life; prayer in our public events, especially in rodeo, respect for each other, respect and a deep belief in God, a love and appreciation for all mankind. He never stopped sharing his ideas and never stopped striving to keep the rural way of life alive.
