Parents, kids, and grandparents of all ages stopped by the Museum of the Plains on Sunday, Jan. 19, to enjoy an old-fashioned afternoon tea party. Party-goers picked out fancy hats to wear and enjoyed tea, punch, finger sandwiches, cookies, and plenty of good company, as well as checking out the museum’s new display of Doris Wilkens’ children’s tea set collection. Pictured are, from left, Carolyn Thomas, Juliza Thomas, age 6, and Jordan Thomas.

Over the past month scores of geese have used the Perryton area and the Panhandle in general as a stopping point during their annual migration. Snow geese and Canada geese both have been spotted taking a dip in the many playa lakes throughout the area, but mostly snow geese are pictured here behind Equity Town & Country on South Highway 83. Many thanks to Harold Courson for spotting this photo opportunity and letting us know.
