The silly signs started on Super Bowl Sunday, when four newcomers from Syracuse, Kan., agreed to do something weird and fun to break the ice and make friends in their new home. Lydia Cook and her daughters, 8-yearold Taegan and 6-year-old Violet, agreed her boyfriend JT Menasco spoke the truth that Sunday when he said, “We don’t know anybody here. And there aren’t enough smiles.” They moved to Dodge City this year to enjoy the pleasures a bigger city affords. Cook and Menasco both secured jobs, but said they had a week to wait for work-mandated physicals. That’s when they decided, as a family, to take markers to poster boards and let their silly sides scribble.
