1 Years Ago Dec. 29, 1921 The bazaar held Thursday by the Ladies Aid society was well patronized and a splendid success. Something over $60 was realized.

The future of the Sundance Winter Festival was called into question when the original...
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end – Ecl. 3:11 There exists purpose in life. This is not found in a procedure but in a process that works itself toward goodness (righteousness). This ultimate purpose of life is not something cheap, quick or easy, nor an item that we may fabricate on our own. It is lovingly placed into every soul by the Creator of the universe and fulfilled through knowing and believing in Jesus C...
We would like to recognize the many members of the community – and our extended community – who we have lost during the year of 2021. Our condolences to all their loved ones.

Unfortunately, while collecting the photographs to create this collage, we realized that almost 100 obituaries have appeared in the Sundance Times during the year of 2021. Due to the sheer limitations of space, it woul...

The little sneak robbed the store f...
