Even frigid temperature won't stop our community from lending a hand. On Feb. 13, Fremont County Public Health held a drive through Covid vaccine clinic. Fourteen hundred doses were given at this clinic and the second shot will be administered on March 13.
This event could have not happened without the many volunteers who helped make it extremely successful. We have received many compliment on how well the events are planned and executed.
