Our awesome sponsor, Max Waters, of Outlaw Welding and Fabrication, can build, fix, invent, weld, create, design, fabricate nearly anything with metal. He's super talented.
He reminds me of my dad, who was insanely talented like this too.
Max is my son.
Obviously, I'm not biased :)

Hey, I'm on a roll and able to post photos to FB today! Quick! Before FB kicks me out, I'd like you to meet the Dagnons!
Thank you, Larry, Stephanie, Dal, Nathaniel, and Leah for sharing your fun photos and amazing story with us!

I also grew up on a farm Larry, and especially loved your first date story. Who says pulling a calf on a first date, can't be the start of a beautiful relationship?! Am I right, Stephanie? :)

We appreciate Confluence Health for sponsoring our fun feature story again this month.

Because FB has been finicky these past months and now I'm way behind in posting our covers, I want to say a special thank you to our readers, who continue to be extraordinary! I've been able to "meet" and get to know so many of you over the phone these past months and it only reinforces my love of this community and the power of positive vibes.

Positive vibes are what we strive to deliver with every issue of the Moses Lake Scene magazine. Our sponsors believe in good vibes and the value of community too. This magazine is their gift to you.

In this edition and every edition, check out the recipes, vacation and garden photos, pet photos, kids page, puzzles, real estate stats, calendar of events, and other fun things that our sponsors and readers send to us to share with our neighbors.

Also in this edition, we welcome back our friend Shawn Koethke and the team at Koethke - Countrywide Financial to the Scene. We are so happy to be partnering with you again. Welcome back, Shawn!

And this month, you'll find timely advice about the stock market, by Michael Homer - Integrity Wealth Advisors, great health tips from Mary Graham and Jazzercise of Moses Lake, beautiful photos from our talented readers, including Lynn Townsend and Heather Mason, and great info from our friends at Samaritan Healthcare.

In just the past few weeks, my youngest son was able to get an oil change, brake service, and a few other things taken care of at Perfection Tire Moses Lake. Of course, I picked up a few lava hot mochas from Mason's Place, and Bishop Spray Service came to my home and took care of my gravel driveway and ditches so for the first time EVER, I will not have to whack, pull, and struggle with weeds this year. You have no idea how happy this makes me!!! Thanks, Paula and Norm!

My oldest son also worked with Mary Ponsness to add a vehicle to his policy and put together a great commercial insurance policy for his business, at Mary Ponsness Insurance. Thanks, Mary!

Some house-hunting friends of mine gave Evergreen Home Loans - Moses Lake Branch NMLS # 1275226 a call, then spoke with Moses Lake Realty Group, LLC so they are well on their way to finding the perfect new place to call home.

As I'm sure you already know, our sponsors are terrific, so if you haven't already, please give them a chance to earn your business. You'll thank me later!

And, STAY TUNED! Things are looking up and it won't be long before we can once again, enjoy great entertainment from Masquers Theater and Columbia Basin Allied Arts! Watch the Scene for updates and to be the first to know about upcoming events. Let's get ready for some great entertainment!

Things WILL return to normal. I never thought I'd look so forward to a "normal" day again, but I'm counting the minutes...

Special thanks to S Evan Townsend (Sheldon), Hannah Argall, and Angela Burns Photography for putting together a great issue.

All my best to everyone that took the time to read this, and thank you for being a part of the Moses Lake Scene.

Thank you, Carolann and Don Swartz for allowing us to feature your story in the September 2020 Moses Lake Scene. Your family's story and the photos you shared with us are wonderful!

Thanks to Confluence Health for sponsoring our feature story. We appreciate you, and ALL of our wonderful sponsors. Without our sponsors, we would be unable to continue to bring the Scene to our neighbors every month.

In this issue:
A book review by Holly Rutchik. Learn how to make your own gummy bears on the Kidz Corner, puzzles, and word search, a recipe for Zucchini and Cheese Drop Biscuits, a rolling calendar of events, and our super popular Moses Lake Scene Real estate page (page 5).

A lot of great images and info are packed into 24 pages!

Thank you to S Evan Townsend (Sheldon) for such a great job putting this issue together and for another terrific feature story. Thank you Angela Burns Photography for a beautiful cover photo and thank you, Hannah Argall, our masterful lead designer, for another gorgeous edition. Great job team. You are appreciated.

To all our readers, contributors, and sponsors... thanks for being such a big part of the Moses Lake Scene, and for helping to bring neighbors together in a time when getting together in person can be a bit challenging.

Dear readers, I love your emails, phone calls, and FB messages. Please keep them coming. I ask that you also reach out to a sponsor or when in their establishment, let them know that you enjoy receiving your copy of the Moses Lake Scene. These are top-notch businesses that understand the importance of community and they continue to support your magazine each month, even in these unusual times. They are heroes.

Our sponsors are also the best at what they do. I encourage you to patronize their businesses at every opportunity, as I personally recommend every sponsor of the Moses Lake Scene. They are that good!

AND, a belated welcome to the Scene, to Anna Maria Van Diest of Basin Ag Sales, LeRae Redal, and the team at Moses Lake Realty Group, LLC, Dave and Mary Ponsness, and Ponsness Insurance. We are so happy you have joined us in the Scene!

Equilus Capital Partners, LLC helps to demystify and solve the problem of paying too much in capital gains when selling real estate (page 12) and meet our friends from Pure Country Harvest LLC on page 14 -my personal favorite place to buy meat. Period. Their products are AWESOME!

A super cool image of the comet that made an appearance this summer can be found on page 16. Thank you, Jerry Keyser. Gorgeous! Special thanks to Lynn Townsend and Sharon Whitham Burns for your much appreciated, wonderful photos as well.

On page 18, Michael Homer - Integrity Wealth Advisors gives us some sound and timely advice for how, why, and maybe why not to tap into our retirement accounts in his article, Know the Pros and Cons Before Tapping Funds from your Workplace Retirement Account.

To all of our readers and especially to our sponsors that make this magazine possible, thank you. You are appreciated by more people than you realize. I hear this every single day.

Hannah Argall, our lead designer, you are a true artist and we love having you on our team.

And again, my apologies to everyone, for getting these covers posted so late recently. FB has been doing some weird things lately. I'm just happy I was able to get this awesome cover posted finally! It's just so darn cute!
