FROM THE EDITORS Dear Readers, Here in October, our seventh month of summer (wink), we embrace stories that root us, even more, into our community. With Election Day coming up November 7, we've provided a broad look at how the road bond vote seeks to pave the way for safety and connectivity in Liberty Hill. Tethering to local spirit and the season of Friday night lights, the spotlights turn to Panther football and the youthful energy, hard work, and camaraderie that permeates the community. Be ready for touchdowns and the exhilarating essence of sporting spirit. There is also a lot of rodeo action to share, including all the details about the Williamson County Sheriff's Posse casino fundraiser, and a deep dive into why rodeos are part of what makes Texas, Texas. We're also so proud of our city's efforts to bring awareness to and help victims of human trafficking. Agape BBQ provided their time, talent, and treasure to support Unbound Austin at a day-long SpiritFest. We also celebrate our Liberty Hill Police Chief Royce Graeter, who joined law enforcement officers from all over the county and strutted his stuff at Purse Bingo to support the Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center. Here's to cooler weather and treating yourself to a pumpkin spice Twinkie!
