Tony Prochaska, of Simpson, does it again, this time weighing in a World Record Colossal Cantaloupe on Wednesday afternoon at 76.12 pounds. It was recorded on an official Kansas certified scale provided by Solomon Valley Home Center. Prochaska says he still has four more to pick after this one but is sure this is the final winner. “ I always knew this was going to be the one,” said Prochaska. “ It was special from the start.” Last years biggest cantaloupe he weighed in was at 64.16 pounds which qualified him for one of the largest melons in the nation. This years for surpassed that record and then some. Watermelons are still in the standing for Prochaska after last years 225 pound champion at the Washington State Park in Arkansas.

Doug and Tracey Palen of rural Tipton have hosted the Cruise the Blues (CTB) Mountain Bike Festival on their farm on their farm for the past 18 years. The Palen’s have always loved and appreciated their historic farm. They have made great efforts to understand its early history and the Gaston Family, who homesteaded in 1878. It was then known as Gaston’s Grove. The Gastons, like the Palen’s, believed that the farm should be shared with family and friends. In the early years, “Gaston’s Grove” became known as a gathering place for numerous events, the largest being their annual Fourth of July Celebration. It drew hundreds of people from the area who spent the day enjoying baseball games, potato sack races, political speakers, live music, and even outdoor movies. The Palen’s were very surprised to discover that in 1922, the festivities also included bicycle races. They plan to celebrate this unique 100 year heritage at this year’s Cruise the Blues festival on Saturday, Aug. 27.
