he Scranton Lions were hoping for a good turnout when they sponsored a blood drive Monday at the town’s community center. They ended up with more than two dozen people stopping by to donate blood when Vitalant brought a six-person staff PHOTO/Brad Mosher for the drive. For the people who donated blood, the Lions also offered some soup, snacks and sweets as a thank you for the participants. Mike and Jody Green coordinated the blood drive, checking people in as they stopped by to donate.

or Rick Stark, the balmy weather was just a distraction outside the 4 Seasons Pavilion when he held his latest gun show in Bowman. “It is going good,” he said Saturday. “Slow, but steady. We have vendors here from four states.” He admits that he has been coming to Bowman several times each year for about the last 20 years. “It has been steady,” he said, looking around at about 20 people checking out some of the vendors’ wares spread out on tables Saturday afternoon. “I’m really satisfied.” The event started Friday afternoon, Stark said. “It gives people a chance to see what we have and still be able to do other things over the weekend.

There were vendors from Bismarck and Mandan who brought a wide assortment of weapons and accessories, along with others who offered colored glass chopping boards. “We have got a little bit of everything,” Stark said. “When they come in, there is probably something of interest to them (customers). As to the vendors, Stark said he had vendors from Montana and Wyoming in addition to North Dakota. “There are some from Williston… some from Sheridan, Shade Hill, Spearfish,” he added. Stark said that his next show will be next winter in Bowman.
