The Falls City FFA Chapter and the Falls City Library and Arts Center hosted a public petting zoo earlier this summer for kids and all of the adults who are still kids at heart!

They were excited to have over 50 children along with many adults attend the event who were all able to interact with their animals ranging from cattle, chickens, goats, sheep, a dog and a rabbit.  

Once again, Rainbow Communications has stepped up to support local non-profits in a big way!

At the Sabetha Rodeo Parade 2025, "blue jeans and country dreams" was the theme. The first place winner "The Iron Gate" made a last minute decision to put a float together and join in the parade. the Second Place in the Float Contest was NorthRidge Church, and the third Place in the Float Contest is Hearth Side Country Store.The rodeo following made for an exciting evening. Thanks to all those who work so hard!!

The Annual Brown County Free Fair is an annual tradition in Horton and this year was no exception! 

Each year the event draws visitors from all over Northeast Kansas.  During their visit, those guests are always looking for a refreshing treat or meal.  Their best bet is in the Blue Building where Reinvent Horton mans a food stand.  From homeade pie, cold drinks, beef burgers and hot dogs. 

It takes alot of people to man the food stand during the fair and again in 2025 the food stand was manned by MANY amazing volunteers who care about their community!

Superheros are real!! And they are at the Holton Pool ready to protect and serve. Join them for some Wacky fun this summer!
