Over and over
We swear we didn’t copy and paste this from an old story: the town of Silverton, voted on whether to allow off-highway vehicles in town. Once again.
We won’t get into the entire backstory, but ever since Silverton first allowed OHVs to drive in town limits in 2014, it’s been a contentious issue, to say the least. Over the years, the town has held several back-and-forth votes on the issue. In 2021, residents voted to oust the vehicles from town.
Residents against OHVs in town say it disturbs the quality of life. Those for it, usually business owners, says it drives sales.
Well, the town held another vote Oct. 3, and this time it wasn’t even close. Residents voted 286 to 128 to keep OHVs out of town limits, representing a 69% to 29% vote.

Gas prices are once again giving America something to complain about. And while the local beer meisters at Ska Brewing can’t fix the price at the pump, the brewery is offering one small bit of relief: a new light beer that costs one cent less than the price of a gallon of unleaded gas.
Introducing Ska’s newest brew: West’s Easy Light Lager, because “everything else is so hard.”

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.
