Good morning, Lawrence.

100 Good Women will host its annual clothing exchange on Saturday, April 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Douglas County Fairgrounds Building 21 where donated clothing, shoes, and jewelry sell for $1 each.

Donations can be dropped off on Friday, April 18 from 3 to 8 p.m. or Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to support community programs like groceries and car repairs.

Today, Erythronium albidum, also called dogtooth violet — or trout/fawn lily, begins to bloom in native woodland soils as its flowers turn downward to shield themselves from spring showers.

Two local high school students from Seaman High sang the national anthem at Royals Opening Day—an opportunity they earned after a competitive live audition that boosted their local profile.

They plan to pursue more performance opportunities as they continue to build their singing careers.
