Joke Of The Day |
Why did the cowboy ride his horse to the Glen Rose Museum? Because he heard they had a "dino"-mite exhibit! |
Crash Downtown |
Itโs a familiar sight on the Square: a truck slows to make a right turn onto Highway 144, and an impatient driver zips up on the right to squeeze past - only to cause a collision.
Hereโs the reminder: there are no right-turn lanes on the Square. We all have to wait our turn. Rushing doesnโt make traffic flow faster, it just creates confusion and accidents.
Letโs all do our part: slow down, be patient, and help keep everyone safe on the way home.
See the video of the accident >> here << on Facebook. |
Tip of The Day |
Don't forget to visit Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose and follow the dinosaur tracks in the riverbed for a unique outdoor experience! |
If youโve driven around lately, youโve probably noticed the new chip seal - and maybe heard it too. Locals are letting us know itโs noisy business. For some, itโs the steady hum outside their homes along the highways. For others, itโs the rattle-and-roar inside their cars.
No petitions for change yetโฆ but we canโt help wondering: how long until we all trade in for hovercrafts? At least then the only noise might be the neighbors complaining about the โwhooshingโ overhead. |

Friday Night Lights! |
This Friday at 7 p.m., the Glen Rose Tigers take on the Gatesville Hornets right here at home. The Tigers plan to pounce, the Hornets plan to buzz, and the band plans to steal the show (as usual).
Bring your loudest red shirt, your best cowbell, and maybe some bug spray - though we hear Hornets arenโt fond of Tiger Stadium anyway. Concession tip: nachos disappear faster than a fumble recovery, so plan your snack strategy early.
Letโs pack the stands, cheer until weโre hoarse, and remind Gatesville why you donโt mess with Glen Rose on a Friday night. Go Tigers! ๐
