Local gatherings featured the Oliver family reunion with 43 attendees, farm visitors, and grandchildren showing livestock at the Fremont County Fair. Farm Safety Week saw two accidents as Jim Sullivan was pinned under a tractor and his father Allen cut a finger, while preparations for the Decatur County Fair and back to school notes framed August’s end.
