Moorcroft Leader - The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

Young Paxton Connally braved the wet and chilly weather with an umbrella and coat early Tuesday morning as he gathered night crawlers for Moorcroft Police Chief Doug Lundborg.

Paxton’s mother, Jesse Connally was approached by the chief via phone before work asking if any of her kids would like to earn a little spending money by picking up as many of the crawlers as they could and eight year old Paxton said, “Heck ya!” He and Lundborg agreed on $2 per dozen.
