The Cannon Run – Lamar’s Home Style Football Gig
There’s no place like home… There’s no place like home… Dorothy speaks the words as she clicks her heels together and travels the distance through dreamland from Oz to Kansas. But there are those of us who need not travel so far as Kansas… We call Lamar, Colorado home. Arriving after a week in the big city, I found myself listening to the boom of the cannon announcing the success of the Savages landing yet another “touch down” and thinking how much fun it is to recognize the only loud noises in town as friendly successes.
