Charlie Kirk Vigil

Last week, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed by a single shot during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson on suspicion of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and other charges; investigators said he acted alone. Robinson was taken into custody after his family helped identify him from released images; a rifle allegedly used in the shooting was found hidden nearby. Political leaders from both parties condemned the killing, and many described it as yet another alarming example of violence targeting public figures. (AP News)

Last weekend, a vigil, organized by Caitlin Nolan, was held at Heritage Park in Kirk’s honor, bringing together about 200 supporters to mourn his passing and celebrate his life.

Remembering September 11th

Last week, Somervell County gathered on the historic courthouse square to honor our community’s heroes. Service members, the Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Office, the Glen Rose Police Department, and many of our local EMS were recognized for their dedication and sacrifice. The American Legion was also present, adding to the spirit of gratitude and respect that filled the day. We remain deeply thankful for the service and protection these men and women provide to our community.

Somervell County Republican Party Resolution

The Somervell County Republican Party recently passed a Resolution in Support and Honor of the First Responders of Somervell County. The departments expressed deep gratitude for this recognition, noting how meaningful it is for their officers and staff to know their work is valued. They look forward to continuing their partnership with the community and its leaders in the shared mission of keeping Somervell County safe and strong.

Why did the scarecrow win an award in the small rural town in Texas?

Because he was outstanding in his field!
