Smoke is on the horizon

Body
The Smoke in the Mountains BBQ & Ribeye Shootout is less than a month away, and the board of the organization has been busy making plans since last year. The 2023 event was very successful, raising $50,000 for local fire departments. This event is held in loving memory of Sara Adams and Robert Rubio.

Enjoying lunch in Marfa

Alpine Elementary’s third and fourth graders spent last Thursday in Marfa at the U.S. Border Patrol’s Big Bend Sector Headquarters learning about what they do to secure our borders and what vehicles and instruments, such as helicopters, four-wheelers, and drones that they use in their job. Pictured are some of the students enjoying a hot dog lunch during their visit.

Think Greek, think low-carb

Body
Most people would be hard-pressed to say that they dislike lasagna. I mean, what’s not to love about pasta, a meaty Bolognese sauce, and cheese? Well, the Greeks have done us one better.
