Bowhunters and Cotton

So, if you're wondering what 51p5-60-1 bow hutners, 3-deck means, you're not the only one! Apparently, the PDF version of today's news was uploaded without this story actually being put in there yet, hence the jibberish headline and all the latin-sounding text for a story. I only hope that they didn't print the newspaper like this. Spent a couple hours at this bowhunters convention and a lot of people were wanting to buy a copy of today's paper before heading back to Salina, Wichita, Ellsworth, KC, Hays, other places, and it would really be sad if the paper they got had this about their convention.

There was a cool photo of a guy skinning the head of a deer that the editor pulled out.. guess it was too gruesome for paper. I put in like 11 photos from this event even though they were only gonna use 2-3. I had fun. It shoulda be the Ad Astra I guess. Then Darcy wouldn'tve had to do a story. She was pretty busy yesterday.

More importantly, spent quite a bit of time at the KSHSAA 5A State Wrestling Tournament at the Salthawk Activity Center this weekend, about 6 hours per day, and had this Ad Astra in today's paper.

The biggest deal for us was Romero Cotton, Hutchinson High School senior wrestler, who, last night, won his fourth consecutive state title after an undefeated season. It was my mission last night to get pictures of his family, the Cottons, cheering for him during and after his match. It just so happens, at the critical cheer moment when Romero won the match, Uncle Charles popped up to cheer directly in front of Romero's parents and made it rather difficult to get a shot with all their faces.
These down here were pretty old, but they finally ran in a a Business section today.
