WAITSBURG -Waitsburg senior Beka Adams' childhood dream of serving as Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days Royalty - a reality she's spent the last year fulfilling - culminates this week at the Walla Walla County Fair. With only a few post-fair events on the itinerary, Adams is amazed at how quickly the year has flown by and how much she has learned. Adams earned her spot on the court last October.

HUNTSVILLE - When Morgan Breland auditioned at a Universal Dance Association dance camp last month in Walla Walla, she was hoping she might get to join a group performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York City this year. She didn't. But the next day she was offered the opportunity to travel even farther: to the New Year's Day Parade in London, England. Morgan, 15, along with her mother, Cara Watts, will fly from Seattle to London on December 26, and return home on January 2. She and about 200 other dancers will represent the U...
