Reporter's note: When my wife and I moved to this area I was not familiar with the annual Montana Seed Show held in Harlem. My first year attending I was a bit overwhelmed trying to take in all the activities and events. By the second year I had a better understanding of what would and did happen during the show. This is my third year attending and rather than try to report on every event, I decided to highlight some of the new events and reflect a bit on the activities that happen every year,...

As part of the Harlem Library's regular Learn at the Library program, two local spinners recently did a demonstration of the ancient art of making yarn. Chris Thurman and Jeanni Powell set up their spinning wheels, showed examples of different yarns and their uses, explained some of the tools of the trade and demonstrated how yarn is made on two different types of spinning wheels. A freezing fog likely limited the audience turnout, but those who came to watch were impressed with the complexity...
In at least one respect, the history of Europe is more interesting than our national history. With all those kings and queens to name, quite a few of them emerged from the anonymity of serial Henrys and Marys by acquiring nicknames. For example, King Henry the Eighth to six wives was wedded: Two of the six were named Anne and three were named Catherine. You can see the problem. Nobody would object to being nicknamed Lionheart. Richard I earned the nickname by his bravery in many battles and crusades. William the Conqueror had an insulting...

The half year plus project to build the playhouse started when Kenley's parents, Britney and Matt, asked great grandpa Berger, "When are you going to build a playhouse for Kenley?"

Reporter's note: I recently learned that Linae Jensen, of rural Chinook, and her friend, Ruth Stewart, had gone to Madrid, Spain last November on a sales trip. Turns out they were at the show in Madrid to sell the miniature items Stewart creates and sells through her Fort Benton-based business called Stewart Dollhouse Creations. The business makes and sells items that enthusiasts use to decorate dollhouses and make miniaturized decorations. It's a big business that thinks small. Stewart and Jens...
