Grafitti In Glen Rose?

Memorial Road Sign Vandalized With Grafitti
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

Itโ€™s 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.

 

Hereโ€™s the reminder: there are no right-turn lanes on the Square. We all have to wait our turn. Rushing doesnโ€™t make traffic flow faster, it just creates confusion and accidents.

 

Letโ€™s all do our part: slow down, be patient, and help keep everyone safe on the way home.

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!

Locals Hate Chip Sealed Roads

"This is louder than the BitCoin Facility!"

If youโ€™ve driven around lately, youโ€™ve probably noticed the new chip seal - and maybe heard it too. Locals are letting us know itโ€™s noisy business. For some, itโ€™s the steady hum outside their homes along the highways. For others, itโ€™s the rattle-and-roar inside their cars.

 

No petitions for change yetโ€ฆ but we canโ€™t help wondering: how long until we all trade in for hovercrafts? At least then the only noise might be the neighbors complaining about the โ€œwhooshingโ€ overhead.

Hereโ€™s how it works: Each man brings $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ (weโ€™ll treat you to lunch). Teachers submit short videos explaining their grant requests and how they will benefit their students.

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 arenโ€™t fond of Tiger Stadium anyway. Concession tip: nachos disappear faster than a fumble recovery, so plan your snack strategy early.

 

Letโ€™s pack the stands, cheer until weโ€™re hoarse, and remind Gatesville why you donโ€™t mess with Glen Rose on a Friday night. Go Tigers! ๐Ÿ…
