On Friday afternoon, May 31, residents were treated to a look back in time. Ed and Pam Hartsock came to Timmins Event Center to give their presentation for the Lifelong Learning program. Ed and Pam have traveled to Tombstone, Arizona, for 10 years to participate in Helldorado days, celebrating the Old Wild West. They were dressed in authentic period western clothing and had photos to show off their adventures. It was a fun afternoon, which concluded with root beer floats for everyone.
