It was a special night last Thursday in downtown Whitehall with the official unveiling of Main Street Green. The special ceremony honored those who have helped make the new "Event Park" that will soon be home to a variety of cultural events in downtown come to fruition. The origin of Main Street Green dates back to a conversation between Bill Pullman and Star Theatre Manager Colton Anderson as they were standing three years ago in what was a bare lot on the corner of Legion and Main.

I often find myself writing about technology and how I am kind of in this never-ending loop of it driving me crazy while at the same time being an absolute necessity in my life. A perfect example of this would be last Tuesday evening when I had to use my phone to record a county commission meeting.

As happy as I was to be able to...

This group still has some goals and benchmarks that they want to...

Donations for the sale came in all morning, and business was brisk. The next yard sale event to benefit the ambulance service will be September 12th from 9:30-1:30. If you have items that you would...

The bottles will be distributed to teachers and staff. The Whitehall Rotary Club received a small grant from the...
While it may have been a little different from those in past, there was still plenty to smile about at the recent Madison County Fair in Twin Bridges. According to Mikayla Hudson, 4-H & Youth Development Extension Agent for Madison and Jefferson County, it was an amazing experience to see so many smiling faces excited to see their friends. 4-H organizers were able to include most of their schedule this year with all shows taking place in person but did reorganize to shorten the week and...

After a scoreless first quarter, the Trojans would capitali...
