For many government entities, July 1 marks the beginning of a new fiscal year. For Mosaic, the day marks the agency’s founding with the consolidation of Bethphage and Martin Luther Homes in 2003.

Since 2020, the day has been celebrated as One Mosaic Day, and with several other organizations becoming part of Mosaic since that time, the celebration is now bigger than an anniversary.

The day, Mosaic President and CEO Linda Timmons said, is a celebration of a network comprising 12 states, 750 communities and a workforce of nearly 5,000 people all working together with a common purpose.

Soon, those waivers could be gone and replaced with a reduced fee for agencies.

PRCA rodeo time in Seward County

Chutes open, releasing animals and riders, and in a few seconds time, a bull is bucked, a steer is wrestled, a calf is roped, or barrels are circled.

This and more have drawn millions to the sport of rodeo for decades, and for the last decade in Liberal, the Seward County PRCA Rodeo has drawn more than its share of fans to town.

Aug. 15 and 16, the rodeo will start its second decade with the 11th edition of the event, and making this year’s PRCA even more exciting is the addition of a new set of bleachers to replace a set damaged in a storm a few years back.
