Well I bet this looks pretty bad? I bet you all are wondering what I have done now!?!
I just thought that I would stop by and see my friends at the Russell County Sheriff’s Office. GOTCAH!!!!

Shortly we will be ringing in the New Year!! Gathering with friends and family to celebrate the end of 2011 and the start of 2012 that should be filled with fun, laughs and good times!!

If you don't obey the law, you just might end up where I am!!!

The Russell County Sheriff’s Office and I just ask you to please make sure that you take safety precaution such as:
            1) Plan ahead if you plan on drinking alcohol, and make sure you have a designated driver
            2) Wear your seat belt, drive sober and defensively as many people will be on the road with you
            3) If you are hosting a New Year’s Bash, offer more to drink then alcoholic drinks. If someone does drink too much, help make sure they have a sober ride home and don’t over serve if someon has had to much.

Let’s start the New Year off right!!  We hope everyone has a safe, healthy and happy 2012!!!

Hop on the Christmas Wonderland Express

Come out to Christmas Wonderland this weekend and take a ride on the Christmas Wonderland Express!  I’ve taken a ride in the train and it is great!  What a fun way to see all the Christmas lights displayed within Christmas Wonderland.  You can also stop at Suzys Sweet Shop before you board the train for a sweet snack!

Daron showing his wide selection of diamonds!

I stopped by to visit my friend, Daron Woelk, at Woelk’s House of Diamonds today.  I’ve been needing a new watch and thought, you know, I’ve been pretty good this year.  So….. now I’m sporting a brand new ”Citizen” watch!  

Trying on my new watch!

For all you men out there ……. they have some great specials for that special someone!  They carry rings, necklaces, earrings, and Hot Diamonds!   

And ……. for all you Jim Shore collectors, they have that, too!  Woelks House of Diamonds has a variety of Jim Shore figurines on display. 

Stop by Woelks House of Diamonds where Daron Woelk and his staff will help you Wrap Up The Holidays!

Shop Downtown Russell and stop in at Woelk's House of Diamonds this Holiday Season!

KREDA conference at the Elks Lodge in Russell!

I am out at the Elks Lodge in Russell today.  Our office is excited to be the host of the annual meeting for WKREDA (Western Kansas Rural Economic Development Alliance) today and tomorrow!  There are lots of Economic Development Directors and State Resource partners staying over night in Russell tonight! 

This annual meeting provides the opportunity for rural economic issues to be discussed and for resource partners such as Ks. Dept. of Commerce to provide updates on programs to economic development directors.

Everyone is having a good time and getting into the Christmas cheer.  Everyone was asked to wear something festive for both days of the conference.  I myself got a pair of snazzy Santa socks!  We are having a good old-time out at the Elks Lodge!
