Occasionally groups of kind citizens attend outside social functions in such small numbers that they do not warrant being called “several.”

So it was this week, as some of the kind citizens attended the funeral of Elizabeth “Gammies” Shearer in Wall on Thursday, some of the kind citizens attended the RDO customer appreciation lunch in Rapid City on Friday, some of the kind citizens attended the Wall Eagles basketball game in Wall Friday night, and some of the kind citizens attended the Meade County Ag Appreciation banquet in Sturgis on Saturday night.

The only thing that “several” of the kind citizens attended was the pesticide applicator recertification seminar held at the Elm Springs Fire Hall on Tuesday afternoon. Redneck fun, woohoo!
