There were plenty of locals who competed in the Freestone County Rodeo on Friday and Saturday night, earning top spots in everything from mutton busting to wild cow milking.
Just recently this nation witnessed the killing of innocent children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. Our hearts go out to the parents and grandparents and families and friends of these precious children who thought they would be coming home from school that day just like any other day. But that wasn’t so. That’s not what happened. I think the only solace we can receive and that these precious families can draw upon is the fact that their children are now in the hands of Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven, and Satan can no longer get his hands on them. Surely our prayers are still with them and we must not forget, for they surely can’t.

The trailer was built for the Freestone County Game Management Association so they can auction it off at their banquet later this year to raise funds for the organization.
The 92nd Annual Teague 4th of July Rodeo will take place Thursday, June 30, through Saturday, July 2. Rodeo performances will begin at 8 p.m. day.
Confirmed and reported COVID-19 cases in Freestone, Limestone and surrounding counties juddered to a slow crawl this spring on state and local dashboards that keep up with the numbers, a fact complicated by the rise in home-testing which has led to a nationwide drop in reporting.
