To the Messenger:

We so enjoy receiving the Meade County Messenger after moving from Kentucky to South Dakota and were pleased to see and hear that new business ventures were opening up on Main Street in downtown Brandenburg. How exciting! During our recent visit back to Kentucky to visit family and friends, we wanted to make sure that we visited Main Street, especially Main Street Cafe that was advertised in your newspaper and now also the Meade County ’08 supplement just received in your fine newspaper.Click Here For Full Story

Chickens, The Sierra Club and Meade County

It is indeed a sad day when our farmers, the backbone of our community, commonwealth and nation, are not allowed to use their farms for both their benefit and the benefit of the rest of us. Shame on those who allowed The Sierra Club to mislead them and to steamroll Mike and Tambra Greenwell.
