New banner hangs to announce Bull's Country Kitchen and BBQ.
Bull and Jamie Larkin are the owners of Bull’s Country Kitchen and BBQ, which was formerly known as Heathers Country Kitchen. They took ownership of the business on March 1, 2017. Bull stated,
“I am going to bring slow cooked barbecue to the menu. Most of the menu will stay the same and plan to tweak it some. My dad and I used to go on the barbecue circuit and enter the contests, Bull said. “Right now the winter hours will stay the same, we are thinking of being open on Mondays.”
Bull and Jamie Larkin are living on site in the apartment below the restaurant.
“This was quite the culture shock for us as we came from Vancouver, Washington. I was a truck driver for the last 17 years. We have received a nice welcome from many people here,” Bull said.
Bull mentioned that his wife Jamie is the daughter of Heather, the former owner of Heather’s Country Kitchen.
“We are keeping it in the family and we do plan to keep the family atmosphere here at the restaurant,” he said.
Bull discussed the upcoming events, including a grand opening planned for March 11.
“We will be having corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day,” he said.
Bull was very optimistic, positive, respectful, and polite when discussing his hopes from the customers.
“We would like people to be patient with us, and give us suggestions. We hope that people will give us a chance. It will be worth it,” he said.

Special election could cost thousands
The special election to replace former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke has already begun to make big news in Montana. The financial impact to each county could affect already tight budgets cause even more challenging adjustments for the remainder of 2017. Many of the counties have created their budgets for this fiscal year and have very little room for major changes or extra expenses that they had not been taking into consideration in the previous year. The special election is the unexpected expense that Sanders County has to work on in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Plains Horsemen and Trotters hoping for successful track season
The Horsemen and Trotters have a team of boys and girls that could very well surprise many competing against them this year. Even though the team had five seniors graduate last year and go on to compete in colleagiate track this year throughout the western region, Plains remains a contender to place high in track this year. There are nine boys on the track team this year, eight more than the previous year. Some of the members of the team are new to track, as Head Coach Denise Montgomery discussed during a recent practice.
