Scouts For Pets:

Members of the Waitsburg Boy Scouts Troop #336 pet Cougar, the iconic feline fixture at the Waitsburg Hardware Mercantile Store. Each year, the troop picks a service project and this year they are collecting pet food for the store's animal adoption program and that of the Blue Mountain Humane Society in Walla Walla through Dec. 17. From lef to right, Seamus House, Tom House, Koby Harris, Cason Nichols, Wyatt Matthews and Brayden Wood want you to bring your donated pet food of any kind to the hardware store. For more information, call Christy House at 509-337-6009.
