Mizzou Champion of Champions

It was the last marching band competition of the year.

The Hickman High School Marching band put on two great performances.

While the ending was not what we wanted, second place overall is still amazing!

Way to go, Hickman High School Marching Band! You still won “The Crown” in our hearts. It has been an honor and a privilege watching you all season long.

To our two Marching Kewpies, you killed it this year! You gave it your all, and I am so very proud of you both.

“Forest Chickens”

A few years ago, I bought some 4th of July chicken decorations. I got teased relentlessly, which made me dig in and buy more for other holidays. It is now a running joke in the Kassel family about my chicken decorations, and any type of animal decoration is a “chicken.” Today, Laura told me that I was not allowed to buy “forest chickens.” Well, I have not ordered them yet, but I am seriously considering it!
