This keto-friendly recipe has been adapted by Laura Beth Schroetlin from a creamy artichoke and cheese dip that was given to her several years ago by Karman Keith.
A horse stands in front of the Pete Jones Livery and Feed Stable in Holyoke’s early days. The building was erected on Denver Street one block east of Interocean Avenue in 1907. The 50-foot-by-75-foot barn had the capacity for 44 horses. It was destroyed, along with the old town hall, early in the morning of Nov. 22, 1927, in a fire that was said to have been the biggest blaze the town had experienced in many, many years. Fortunately, the horses had been turned out in the corral for the night, so there was no loss of livestock. — Source: Phillips County Museum
