Good morning, Stillwater! Did I make the classified code too tough? 😬 Newspaper subscribers got a hint on Monday, but if you're still stumped, here’s a little nudge with emojis. It’s a place in Stillwater where:
tales standing tall ➜ 📕 
where the wild birds stay ➜ 🦆

Keep crackin’!

In today’s edition:

• Mutt Madness is upon us 🦴

• Getting your 2025 goals back on track ✅

• Spring Garden Parties at ODB

• Crokinole Players wanted

Thanks for being here.

She uses an FDA-approved, hand-pressured device for a safe, hypoallergenic piercing—perfect for kids and adults alike. Want to make it extra special for your little one? Her Princess Package includes a tiara, cape, wand, and bracelet for the full royal treatment.

Stephanie also offers custom lip gloss mixing and spray tanning if you're looking for a little extra self-care. She’s based at Indulge Beauty Studio (520 S. Lowry) but can go mobile for girls' nights, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and sorority events.

💎 Piercing Pricing:
✨ 2 Lobes – $50

Ladies and gentlepups. March is here! And that means it’s time for. . .

Mutt Madness is a multi-round vote to crown Stillwater’s favorite pooch. A $25 entrance fee gets your dog in, with half of all proceeds supporting the Stillwater Humane Society. There are 6 voting rounds. Half the contestants will be eliminated each round.

Last pup standing earns the prize: a custom pet portrait from Josh Dean Photography and a gift card and gift basket at Bow Wow Bouffant on Main Street (a $125 value).

And speaking of dogs…last week 100% of y’all said you’d like to see pets up for adoption. Hear you loud and clear!
