With the harsh winter storm on the way, the board of the DeWitt County Sportsman's Club opted to cancel Sunday's breakfast out of an abundance of caution. We'll see you on the third Sunday for a great breakfast starting at 8:30am.

Officially celebrating the new server! Look, Santa won a gun and it didn't take 30 seconds to upload the photo. Alright.  Let's get to work.

With a big of luck, we should be running on the new server. (NOT the one pictured above). It has taken way to long to get to this point. While fixing A, B, C and doing upgrades at the previous Data Center we lost track of how bad it was…
