Maki wins wheat king honor

Dusty

The Dusty community has royalty residing within its confines. Steve Maki won the Palouse Empire Fair Wheat King award for the second year in a row.

Mashayla Morris, daughter of Luke and Jennifer Morris, received blue ribbons on both of her pigs during showing at the Palouse Empire Fair. Her brother Quincy received a ribbon in his showing of his calf, Grease, in the Little Cowpoke division.

Sarah Maki Smith, Moses Lake, assisted the Mockenema 4H club by shearing 30 of their sheep a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the Palouse Empire Fair.

Vicki Broeckel took her mother Berniece Krom to the fair Friday.

The Dusty Gals are planning a community yard sale for Saturday, Sept. 22, in front of the Dusty Country Store. All are welcome to participate, but asked to bring their own table. For further information, contact Kathy Vogler.

Extended weekend visitors at the home of Brian and Angela Broeckel, were her parents, Guenter and Brigitte Scherwinski of Mountain Home, Idaho. They attended the Palouse Empire Fair and Rodeo and the LaCrosse-Washtucna football game.
