Bomgaars holds an annual event known as Ladies Night. The purpose of this event is to help raise awareness of women’s health issues. The intent is to have a “Night of Festive and Fall Shopping” with discounts offered to the ladies in attendance.

When the house is getting decorated for Christmas, that’s the time the announcement goes out for the art for the annual Valentine’s Day card from Valentine. “The winner this year is Madison Kelber,” said Dean Jacobs, executive director of the Valentine Chamber of Commerce.

Coach Shane Allison said, “The Badger wrestling teams both competed in Columbus this past weekend. The weekend was highlighted by Will Sprenger and Ashton Lurz both winning championships. Both wrestlers beat guys who were ranked #2 in their class. Ashton beat three ranked opponents on his way to a title. Although we are not where we want to be yet, I can see this team being right in the mix by the end of the year. The girls competed as well. Emma Richards took home third place honors beating several ranked opponents along the way.”
