The Moorcroft seniors have been using the town-owned center on North Big Horn for many years, but as the almost century-old building and its fellows along the block fell further into disrepair, the decision was made by the town council that the structure was no longer a safe haven as a gathering place. The seniors were offered a new center at the Moorcroft Town Center (MTC); the seniors, though, chose to buy their own building on South Big Horn and renovate to better suit their criteria. The...

According to pantry service representative Katy Daves, the reason for the move is to ensure a “more discreet and private environment” for their clients.

Daves assures people that the days and times will continue...

The dental clinic in Moorcroft has always been a satellite of the center in Newcastle and, while the town has benefitted by having a local treatment facility, the monies and personnel always returned to Weston County at the end of the day. Meet DDS Lucas Kaufman and his wife, dental hygienist Kelsey, who aim to solve that issue. Dr. Kaufman has purchased the local establishment, changing the name to Moorcroft Dental to better represent the local community they want to serve. Lucas says that...

West Texas Trail Museum Director Cynthia Clonch is introducing a new exhibit at the museum. She said that when the taxidermied calves arrived, she had to consider carefully the best spot for it. “I thought about putting it [facing the entrance] and someone said that if that’s the first thing you see, it might be too startling,” she laughs. Ultimately she decided on the corner display behind the saddles in the front reception area. These co-joined calves were born via cesarean section last April...
