Okarche FFA’s ag issues team gave a presentation recently to the Kingfisher Lions Club that the program’s members will take to contest later this month. It was on the pros and cons of the Prime Act of 2017, which has not yet come before the U.S. House of Representatives for a vote. The act is centered on allowing more local control on the community and state level for processing and butchering of meat, including reducing the federal Food and Drug Administration’s control over inspection of producers’ meats that do not leave the state.

After a year of isolation, the return of the annual Kingfisher Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the chamber of commerce seemed a giant bunny hop in the direction of normalcy. Chamber Director Shauna Rupp estimated close to 150 little ones participated in the hunt for 4,200 eggs containing candy, cash prizes and coupons for free treats, all sponsored by local businesses. “We also had a record number of prize baskets donated by businesses, plus grand prizes like scooters, razors and hoverboards,” Rupp said. “This was a great event sponsored by local businesses and the chamber.” Some of the smiling faces on display included: clockwise from top left, buddies Raiden Bragg, 3, and Justin Conner, 5, with a prize basket; Olivia Fisher, 3, who collected her eggs in a handbag to complement her outfit; Skylah Bell, 1, carefuly retrieving her first find, and a group of eager egg seekers racing to start their hunt.
