For a newspaper reporter (that's me) Kern County is a wonderful Eden; full of quirky stories, weird people, fabulous drama, heartrending tragedy and everyday silliness.
In the past month or two I've written about a drowning child, a stabbed stripper and a serious staffing void sapping the County of Kern's ability to serve the public.
Now I'm enlisting you to help me tell other stories — both personal and governmental — about the county we live in.
So whatta ya got Kern County?
What's your story?
