For over a century, the First Congregational Church of Keystone has been cooking something up, and that something is a mouth-watering buffalo dinner.

The Hill City Seniors are once again in search of donations for the Veterans Gift Shop to benefit those living in the veterans facilities in Hot Springs. The deadline of Friday, Oct. 16, is fast approaching, and organizers are encouraging local participation.
The donations will be placed into a pop-up shop for veterans to choose gifts to send to their loved ones at Christmas time.
“They take each vet shopping, and they pick out gifts for their family or friends,” said organizer Pat Forrer.

Lions Club seeks members to serve

Published by admin on Wed, 10/14/2026 - 10:05am
The Hill City Lions Club is actively seeking new members in hopes of keeping the club alive. 
“We serve,” is the club’s motto, but with fewer members, the club is struggling to do so. With fewer hands on deck, the club has had to begin trimming back on its service opportunities. 
New president Julie Block and husband and Lions member, Doug Block, are hoping to change that.
“We’re trying to rebuild the club and get new members,” said Julie. 
“Then we could do more,” added Doug. 

Hill City Public Library boasts banned books

Published by admin on Wed, 10/14/2026 - 10:01am
Banned Books Week is an annual nationwide observance that highlights the harms of censorship and defends free access to information while encouraging readers to dive into banned and challenged books. 
This year’s theme is “Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read,” and Hill City Public librarian Tammy Alexander couldn’t agree more. 
“I don’t need to be censoring anyone’s choices,” said Alexander. 
Instead, she encourages people to read the books and initiate a conversation about them.
