Mark Twain, better known around the Onion Creek Village Apartments as Richard Salassi, entertained members of the Onion Creek Senior Citizens last Thursday. Salassi dressed the part in a white suit with an unlit cigar and put on a very entertaining show for the seniors.

Speaking of the senior citizens group, thanks to all the folks in the community who donated to the rummage sale last Saturday. Thanks also to those folks who came by and purchased a treasure. A little over $1200 was made for the building fund for a new senior center in Buda.

The big grass fire off West Goforth Road last Friday afternoon burned about 20 acres. Thankfully no homes were harmed.

Nancy Rogers recently returned home to Buda after a visit to Orange, California, where she met up with 10 of her old classmates from Orange High School class of 1945. They all had a wonderful time reliving old memories and catching up with all the family news.

Time sure goes by fast when you are having fun and we must be since it is already time to think about another first Thursday for downtown Buda. Come downtown on Sept. 2 for the first Thursday put on by the downtown merchants. The theme is “show your school spirit” so come enjoy the special activities.
