The Run for the Wall in Colorado City!

Hundreds of veterans rode into town on Saturday on one of their stops on their way to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C.  They were treated to a meal and entertainment at the Railhead Building downtown.  The event is produced by CMS students and their Principal, Mark Merrell and lots of volunteers who work hard to make this an event to remember.

Loraine Fire Dept. thanks the Loraine Co-op Gin!

Loraine Fire Dept. Asst Chief, Doyle (Shady) Mitchell presented the Loraine Co-Op Gin board with a certificate of appreciation for their continued support of the Loraine Fire Dept. The fire department has used the yard and facilities of the Co-Op Gin for it’s annual Farm Auction for the past 24 years, with the exception of one year due to an extended ginning season. Mitchell says, “The Co-Op Gin goes to a lot of trouble and spends a lot of time getting the gin yard and buildings ready for us to use. Although we say thank you it does not convey the deep appreciation we feel for their help and support. This is just an example of people working together to make our community a safer and better place to live.”
