Students and family were invited to come to the school to meet and greet teachers and staff and to become familiar with the campus.

Wishing all students a successful school year and more importantly to our community to pay extra attention the next few days as students make their way back to class.

So those Redding Rodeo guys were up late last night. Tonight is fingernail and boot inspection. Our investigation team is sure to find those responsible for painting our doors red.

Shenanigans are at it again. Sure looks like the Asphalt Cowboys put their magic touch to Redding Rodeos entrance sign. Keep your eyes on those yellow shirts. Two more full filled days of Rodeo.

Looks like we are set up for tomorrow's 69th annual Big Breakfast! Come have Pancakes with 11,000 of your friends. 5:00-10:00. There are still a few tickets at Lulu's and Paintmart for $5.00 or $6.00 at the event tomorrow.

The loot has been found by Warren and Erica at Kids Kingdom in Redding. Congratulations! The Lone Stranger have yet to be found. Here is the next clue:

We might not be in a total bind,
but this duo left us stewing.
As many found magnificent,
serenading was their undoing.

Another fun stop while out judging those that decorated.

The Strangers are still on the loose and the loot has not been found. Please help bring these two to justice along with the loot. The reward today is $400.

Lone Stranger & Sidekick $400

Wednesday:
Ransoms for their capture we’ve offered,
nab or find them we still can’t.
Caught red handed with gilded loot,
kings find them insignificant.

Call 530-223-1188

Loot Location: $400 FOUND

Wednesday:
No matter the spot they parked their car,
they scurried away with ability.
Did somewhere along that serene trip,
imagine the realm of possibility.

Follow instructions attached to the loot

This morning, at approximately 8:44, the Lone Strangers struck again. This time the target was Cornerstone Community Bank in Downtown Redding. The bumbling Asphalt Cowboys were thwarted once again! Now it's up to the great citizens of Shasta County to un-mask the Strangers and find the loot. Today, the reward stands at $500 each for identifying the Strangers and finding the loot. To identify, call 530-223-1188. If you find the loot, follow the instructions with the loot. Remember the loot is never on private property and is in plain sight. Good luck and have fun!

Lone Stranger & Sidekick $500 reward

Tuesday:
They hit our downtown once again,
secure it we did try.
Below the belt their tactics were,
they hung those Cowboys out to dry.

Call 530-223-1188

Loot Location: $500 reward

Tuesday:
They’ve hidden the loot in a place unseen,
below the field of view.
No matter how much the business lost,
refuse to quit the Cowboys do.

Follow the instructions attached to the loot.
