Mountain City Montage
by PAULINE TOM
Amy Hilton sends a “big thank you” to all who donated to the Hays County Food Drive so far. Curbside pick up on Sunday brought in 141 cans.
Through Saturday, November 19, please donate cans at either of the drop-off locations located at each entrance at the information signs. They look like trashcans. Amy picks up daily and challenges each household to donate a minimum of six cans.

Nancy Waddell sends word from Midland that she’s thankful for no traffic and no humidity and being less than 3.5 hours from Ruidoso. She and Rick have survived three dust storms. She adds, “The people are so nice (no offense to Mountain City- after all, that is home), I miss you all. Hope all of my birdies are well at Kyle Elementary.”
Did you notice that many establishments observed Veterans Day with complementary meals or appetizers: Chili’s, Applebee’s, Texas Roadhouse, Outback, McCormick & Schmick’s.
As the proud wife of a Vietnam veteran, I’m grateful to see honor finally openly paid to those who returned home to jeers and sneers. Thank you to all veterans!
