Can you think of a better way of spending an early Saturday morning than dodging high speed. vicious vehicular traffic, avoiding pernicious and dangerous animals such as snakes and badgers, and picking up irresponsible peoples’ garbage tossed on the side of the road? Neither can I, so we are having our next roadside cleanup on 8/10, with a brief at 0630. We will be providing drinking water, safety vests, and trash bags.

First-Time Gun Buyers Class
The Sangre Shooting Sports Club (SSSC) is sponsoring a class to assist first-time gun buyers to select the correct handgun for themselves. This educational and enjoyable lecture is informative and useful. It is a hands-on class. It can provide the needed confidence about making the right choice for a first gun. New gun owners can also benefit from this class as it may help to reinforce the buyer’s original decision as well as provide additional insight. The class and the instructor are personally endorsed by Custer County Sheriff Rich Smith. Before we can set a date, time, place, and cost, it is important that the number of committed participants sign up. Sign-ups can be done online at sssc8@live.com, Attn: Tom Sullivan or Peggi Collins.
