If you’re visiting Spur to experience the 4th Annual Big Dog Barbecue Cook-off, welcome. We hope that if you’re coming from the Metroplex, the Hill Country or Lubbock or Amarillo, you’ll take some time, either coming or going to find out what makes this area special. Here are a few things for you to consider either on this visit or your next.

Thank you for the “Austin’s Failure to Lead” column. Keep up the good work. An important question for Texas: Which comes first: Making ERCOT effective or building a border wall? (I believe that ERCOT should be EUCOT, because of its unreliability).

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION

In its regularly scheduled meeting of May 24, 2021, Kent County commissioners approved the request of Jayton- Girard ISD for $388,918.63 in permanent school funds, as remaining components of the multi-year construction project, such as tennis courts, are close to be completed (tennis courts, etc.). County judge Jim C. White said the county would likely redeem a $321,000 certificate of deposit that was set to mature in June, to cover the bulk of the request.
