Roscoe Soon to Have Fourth Restaurant and Bar

Having grown up in Roscoe, I don't know which is more surprising: that Roscoe is soon to get its fourth restaurant, or that one of them will have a bar.

Apparently the new restaurant, The Lumber Yard (Abilene Reporter News story), will feature live music on weekends, a dance floor (there's a subject for another post altogether), outdoor seating, and a bar.

I hope it is successful.

Sweetwater Prayer Center to Host National Day of Prayer

The Sweetwater Prayer Center (at Emmanuel Fellowship Church) will host the National Day of Prayer on May 6, 2010 from 7am to 7pm.

This is the second year for the Sweetwater Prayer Center to host the annual event, and the entire community is invited to participate.

The Sweetwater Reporter has also reported on the event: Ministerial Alliance to host prayer vigil.

Primary Election Results

The primary election for the Nolan County Judge race on March 3, 2010 saw a record Republican turnout. I want to thank everyone for voting. It's on to November.
