On Thursday evenings when I can, I like to drive over to the Lake Brownwood Dam Volunteer Fire Department to play 42 with a bunch of folks that includes my brother Lyn and my Uncle Eddy.

Letter to the Editor

Wind companies are once again making moves to secure leases in Hamilton, Erath, and Comanche counties. This time it is Orsted, a Danish wind company who, at the moment, is having trouble making ends meet, loosing $545 million dollars last quarter.

Notes from the Mayor

The City of Hamilton is currently showing test results that have higher than normal nitrates in the water system. We believe this to be the reason that our chloramine residuals have decreased and caused us to dump water on the ground last week at Elevated Storage Tank (EST) #2. Upper Leon is aware of this and is beginning a chlorine conversion on September 17th.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Every year I write this letter of thanks with such a grateful heart full of pride for my community. It truly takes a village to make our annual Miss Hamilton County Dove Festival Pageant happen each year. The history and tradition behind Dove Fest is something that is important to a lot of us, and I am so thankful that our pageant tradition is alive and thriving! This year, a record-shattering 2,592 votes were cast for the People’s Choice Award. The Chandler Craig Auditorium was packed with family and friends of each contestant, and we were able to crown a new queen’s court for 2024. It was a beautiful evening kicking off Dove Fest in the best way possible! Thank you to our title sponsor, Extraco Banks, for their willingness to be a part of our event this year. Their support has been crucial to helping our pageant continue to thrive and grow. I look forward to our partnership in the coming years!
