Thursday, July 29 – Saturday, July 31:
Pawnee Bill Memorial Rodeo; Pawnee, OK, Lakeside Arena. IPRA sanctioned.
A great way to beat the summer heat is to head out to any lake, river or stream. Take along a kayak for additional fun and relaxation and adventure.
I have many fond memories of my first visit to the Wichita Mountains, along with a couple that I'd like to forget.
And, although I've since hiked all over the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, on the first trip there, I didn't make it out unscathed.
You know how one thing leads to another. I was mulling over topics for this column when a question popped in my mind.
This week's featured creature is fairly common around the outside of homes, and in gardens.

Sunday, July 11 – Friday, July 16: International Finals Youth Rodeo; Shawnee, OK, Heart of Oklahoma Expo Conference Center.
Hey Rodeo Fans! There’s still time to catch some exciting action at the International Finals Youth Rodeo in Shawnee.
Two performances are scheduled for Thursday and Friday at 9 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. each day.
This week, rather than focus on a single species, I thought it would be nice to write about a few things that I’ve observed lately. And, I know, not everyone is a fan of spiders and bugs, but they are a part of nature.
With all the rain we’ve received over the last few weeks, it made me wonder if June rainfall was one for the record books. My guess is the size and quantity of mosquitos that have followed the rain could be for the record books – at least they appear to be!
