This Thursday, February 29, is Leap Day. A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day compared to a common year. The 366th day is added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. Some cultures consider February 29th an unlucky day, but for our readers, it’s lucky, because you are receiving an additional newspaper this month packed full of the latest county happenings.

Monday’s temperature reached up into the 80s. If Mother Nature wants to declare winter over already, that’s just fine with us!

We are nearing spring and the end of the school year and with it comes a very full activity calendar. Although we would love to be able to attend every event, it’s just not possible. If you are attending an event in Atchison County and don’t see one of our photographers there, feel free to snap some pics and send them in. We want to be able to highlight as much of our daily lives as possible, but we need your assistance. We appreciate everyone who helps us out on a regular basis!
