• Hardin 150: A postponed celebration of Hardin's sesquicentennial, slated for July 30-Aug. 1. Troy Rust, who heads the Hardin 150 planning committee, discusses the upcoming festival and whether Hardin 150 will inspire the town to resume staging an annual spring or summer festival, among other topics. 
• Dirt-track racing: Richmond resident David Wood discusses his life in motorsports. Additional topics include why stockcar racing appeals to him as a driver and why people should try motorsports as a spectator activity.
