I must apologize for not keeping up with the blog. Sometimes life gets in the way and trying to work out the kinks get difficult at times. I have a great deal of information and pictures to catch up on and will try to get it done soon. During the last few months, I have had a change in employment which has resulted in a work schedule that was hard for me to adjust to. Also, I was involved in an auto accident that resulted in a fatality. That has had a severe effect as well.
Thank you for your inquiries about the blog. I am glad to know that there are people who missed it and I promise that it will continue. June 8th marked its third year and I hope for many more. The Barnard Banter has over 27,000 readers in more than 50 countries around the world. It has truly been an incredible experience.
This is a blog about a small town in Kansas that is trying to keep from disappearing. Barnard, Kansas is a small but interesting little town. Mostly peaceful, sometimes serene, occasionally scandalous, but never boring. Contact the Barnard Banter at barnardbanter@aol.com.

Life in the Old Barnard Cafe
Nancy Houghton, owner of the former Betty's Place in downtown Barnard, is bringing back a bit of life to the old building. She is hosting dinners on Wednesday nights. There was a good turn out this last Wednesday night. Dinner nights are posted on the front door so keep an eye out and I will try to do better about keeping the blog updated.
