Monday morning. You’ll notice I didn’t say “Good” first. That’s because the wind is extremely strong and what snow we got Saturday night is finding its way through the air.
At least I think that’s where the snow is coming from. It doesn’t look new.
We had a wonderful turnout for our “breakfast-for-lunch” Saturday. Breakfast was served to 45 including home deliveries. And the French toast casserole was super delicious.

There were five here for bingo on Tuesday. Two-dollar winners were Grace Johnston, and Madaline Forbes.Winnie Allen and Grace Johnston shared a $2 round. Winnie Allen won the $4 blackout round.
There were two-and-a-half tables for duplicate Bridge on Monday. High winners were Bob Johnson and Sheila Johnson. Second high went to Lee Groshart and Mary Sjoden.

At Valley View, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental, and psychological well-being of each resident.

The Platte Valley Habitat Partnership is alive and well and showed its strength during a meeting Friday at the Platte Valley Community Center.
The group got through what facilitator Jessica Clement called the “groan zone of the process,” as it hammered out goals and objectives for PVHP’s first habitat plan.

In only her second year of coaching, Mary Hohnholt was voted assistant coach of the year by her peers in the Wyoming Coaches Association.
Although she is new to the official title, Hohnholt has been around the Saratoga cross country program for years. Her husband, Rex is the head coach.

The Lady Panthers (2-4), (0-2) started conference play over the weekend in Lusk on Friday night and Pine Bluffs on Saturday.
Saratoga was short a couple of starters against Lusk and the Panthers quickly lost their lead after the first quarter. They never regained it and came away with an 18-45 loss.

Saratoga and Encampment basketball teams will face off on Thursday of this week for the Platte Valley rivalry.
The games will happen at the Encampment School gyms.

The Rawlins Outlaws came to Encampment (1-6), (0-2) last Tuesday night and the Lady Tigers turned their season around with a strong 44-32 win. Although the Tigers are still working kinks out of their game plan, the team has started to mesh. Every player contributed to the success on Tuesday.
Head coach Amy Clay said, “They are all working hard and doing what I ask.”
