The Peacock and the Sausage Fest

I thought I watched too much television. That idea changed after watching a recap of the recent Emmy Awards show. I did not know any of the award winners or the shows that received an Emmy Award. I guess we don’t travel in the same social circles. Do you remember having just two or three channels on the tube? And you had to actually get up and turn the channel knob to change channels. One professor told me there is often more choices when there is less choices. That point is not lost in this conversation.

Miles Cotton Festival draws in hundreds

MILES - The 45th Annual Miles Cotton Festival was celebrated on Saturday, September 10th under sunny skies in the Miles City Park. The annual event is sponsored by the Miles Preservation Authority. This year’s theme was Rockin’ Cotton and began at 9 in the morning with a parade. Countless parade participants and spectators were in attendance showing off tractors, tricked-out cars and pickups, Cotton Queen participants and various organization’s floats uniquely decorated for the event. Following the parade, the public gathered at the park and shopped at the various booths set up. Vendors sold homemade barbecue sauce, all types of food, clothing, toys, monogrammed gifts, and Texas-themed memorabilia, just to name a few. There was something for everyone. Children had a bounce house and even a gentleman twisting and making all sorts of objects from tiny balloons, entertaining kids of all ages. There was something for everyone across an area that encompassed several city blocks. Stores and restaurants downtown were open for the event, as well, and welcomed the city’s visitors.

Miles, Winters win as Bearcats remain winless

BALLINGER - Before I get into the story of Miles vs Water Valley, I want to point something out. Miles has been playing teams who are in their first year of 11man football. That isn’t to denigrate the Bulldogs wins or their opponents’ losses. I only point it out because we never belittle the teams, or the players, that Miles, or any Runnels County team has faced, or will face.
