Here's hoping you're too busy to read this right now

This coming weekend is typically one that is packed full for many local folks, in a good way. This year it promises much the same, weather holding.

With Mother’s Day, the Colorama festivities, the big rodeo, and the old-home week atmosphere at local gathering places, there’s no excuse for boredom.

The chamber of commerce never stops working at improving Colorama, a multi-faceted, complex enterprise, the successful completion of which will leave many revelers pleasantly exhausted, but not more so than its organizers.

The Colorama Rodeo, the continued existence of which was in doubt a few years ago, regularly wins statewide “best” awards and has earned a reputation as “a really cool rodeo,” as one experienced rodeo photographer recently stated.

But as deserving of accolades as those efforts are, they both pale in comparison to the effort it took to raise you. So don’t forget the most important event this weekend, and visit, call or write your mother.

Happy Mother’s Day and Colorama!
