The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

Friday we had our planned power outage and everything went off without a hitch. A huge thanks to the volunteers and staff for your patience and willingness to make a good day a great day in spite of no power. Then, this morning, Monday the 27 all the problems that were happening last week that required fixing happened over the weekend. As a result of the freezers losing power all of our ice cream melted. Yes, all our ice cream social, ice cream. Not enough time to order, but Jeff Finley at Finley Food Farm came to our rescue, we will have an ice cream social.
