Just like the old west ...

The front page of the April 22 issue has a priceless photo of a modern day cattle drive down Main Street in Olathe. This may be a big Ho-hum to people who have lived here for a long time, but for this city kid it's exciting stuff.

The photo by Joseph Harold was well done - he got a broad shot of cowboys, cattle and the old fashioned buildings. If there weren't power poles in the picture, you'd swear it was taken in the 1800's instead of 2009.

This is one of the things I treasure about living in Olathe - there are things going on here that you just won't ever see living in a subdivision in a city.

  1. I agree. Although I missed the cattle going down main in the picture, I've seen plenty more and it always makes me smile. One day a young gal was leading a calf through town! I love it here!!!
