Winter Carnival Evolution

Winter finally arrived with the Town of Encampment presenting food and fun for the whole family over the past weekend.

Local resident Sandy Martin had an idea in 1987 to roust people out of winter hibernation and make the most of seasonal conditions.

The first three day event took place in March 1988 featuring everything from a poker run to kamikaze ski jumping.

'Gather at the Table' Feb. 3rd to enjoy hot meal on cold night

As the town crier shouts, “there’s nothing more satisfying than a delicious hot meat on a cold blustery night”, to which the cooks for the “Gather at the Table” volunteers respond by inviting every one, especially the hungry and lonely, to come in out of the cold for a free meal and fellowship Monday evening, Feb. 3rd, from 5:00 o’clock to 6:30.

The Mysteries of the Faith

Though many churches today no longer teach that the Holy Scriptures, as originally written are inerrant (without error). The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, the Southern Baptist Church, the Assemblies of God, and other conservative Churches still hold to this very important teaching of the Bible.

Living on Purpose: God's love is waiting for our love

No matter what the negative naysayers declare about the absence of the love of God, do not allow these dark imaginations to be absorbed into your conscience. Let us accept the fact that after God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it, the Almighty keeps repeating, “And God saw that it was good.” He passionately loved everything He made and still does. Take a moment and read the first chapter of Genesis for yourself.

Come in out of the cold for free meal

Everyone, especially the hungry and lonely, is invited to come in out of the cold and “Gather at the Table” for a free meal and fellowship Monday evening, Feb. 3rd, between 5:00 and 6:30.

Smoked pulled pork on a bun, coleslaw, baked beans, strawberry cake with strawberry cream frosting and a beverage are on the menu for the event at the Saratoga Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall at the corner of 3rd & Bridge streets.

Logan Robinson and the Rose Parade

Saratoga’s own Logan Robinson performed for an estimated 800,000 spectators with the University of Wyoming’s “Western Thunder” Marching Band during the 2025 New Years Day Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

Robinson, Panther class of 2024, is a freshman majoring in Geology at the University of Wyoming and can be found playing the tenor saxophone on the field at War Memorial Stadium during halftime at Cowboy home football games.

I give you a new commandment

"When Judas had left them, Jesus said, ": Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once. My children, '1 will be with you only a little while longer. '1 give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
