If you're looking for something fun to do during the summer (or other times of the year) in Ray County, Missouri, here are some options:

Hardin 150: A postponed celebration of Hardin's sesquicentennial, slated for July 30-Aug. 1. Troy Rust, who heads the Hardin 150 planning committee, discusses the upcoming festival and whether Hardin 150 will inspire the town to resume staging an annual spring or summer festival, among other topics.
Dirt-track racing: Richmond resident David Wood discusses his life in motorsports. Additional topics include why stockcar racing appeals to him as a driver and why people should try motorsports as a spectator activity.
Sasquatch statue hunting: Ray Countian Natalie Lamar discusses her hobby of hunting for Sasquatch statues in Ray County. She also discusses such topics as taking Sasquatch hunting on the road and vacationing as America emerges from the COVID pandemic.
