OUR CALL FOR PICTURES of the 2020 Wheat Harvest was answered last Friday morning when we received this priceless photo from Ginger Riffel. Rhett Riffel, age 3, and Alena Riffel, 19 months, watch Uncle Randy Riffel dump the wheat from the combine into the semi trailer. J. D. Riffel is in the other combine in the background. Daniel Riffel was running the semi and Grandpa Steve Riffel was running the grain cart. Rhett and Alena are the son daughter of J. D. and Ginger Riffel.

MARK TRUMBO saw an unusual sighting at Webster Lake recently when, what looked to be a very large channel cat, turned out to be a large channel cat with another large channel cat’s head in its mouth. Mark said the heads on the fish were about the size of a basketball. He estimated the fish to weigh 20-25 lbs. apiece. As he went to take another picture, the fish flopped and ended up separating and swimming away.

The new scoreboard has been installed at the Legion Field down at the Stockton City Park courtesy of a grant from Heartland Community Foundation to help with the purchase. Not only is the Stockton Recreation Commission ready for the ball season, the installation for the new sign, which was installed by the City of Stockton employees, is the official launching point for the new redesign of the ball field!
