Life has a way of throwing “things” in our way. This summer was my youngest going to the hospital with a rare infection and the back and forth visits to the doctor. After months of worry and prayer I am happy to announce that his infection is gone. Then, one morning during the first week of school I had to learn to slow down. In one of those freaky, yet funny accidents I ended up with a hairline fracture on my ankle. In true mom form I dusted myself off and went on with my day. I had been subbing at the school that week and knew there was no way I could call in, cause honestly no one else would have been able to understand my chaos. I went in that day thinking it was just a bad sprain, I did all the things we’ve been taught to do – ICE – ice, compression, elevate. As the day went on my foot and toes started swelling more and the purple color started turning more greenish yellow and spreading. So, I went to the clinic to get x-rays and checked out, where the fracture was found. Under doctor instructions I had to keep weight off my foot for three weeks. For someone that is constantly on the go, this was the hardest three weeks of my life. Luckily, the clinic had a scooter that I was able to borrow so that I could get around. I’ll have to admit, it defiantly made things ’FUN’. But wait, it gets better, when I went back for my check-up, they found a break on my foot. Naturally if I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it good! Now, six weeks later, I’m walking around on a boot and with any luck I should be back to normal in the next week or two. God has a funny way of teaching us things and He has been trying to teach me a lot lately. “Don’t take things for granted, wether it’s just simply walking to the bathroom or your family” “Sometimes you need help and that’s Okay” “And ALWAYS, put your trust in Him. He has a plan and it’s just what he saw you going thru” God Bless…
To say that the Jacksboro community has seen its fair share of heartache is an understatement. But, because of the Faith and Love we share in Jesus Christ and each other, we are surviving. For two Jacksboro High School students that Faith and Love was shown in a mighty big way on a football field in Decatur, Texas. In its 11th year, Decatur’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes Fields of Faith brought students, coaches, youth leaders, and parents together to share the love of God. JHS Senior Morgyn Green shared her story of losing her biological father at a young age and God’s plan of bringing another father into her life that would be a Christian role model and true inspiration. In February of this year, God called Dennis home and all the questions of why and how would flood upon her, as well as her family and friends. But because of the faith and hope in Jesus Christ that Dennis had shared, Morgyn has been able to go on knowing that her two Morgyn Green and Devon Green fathers are together and that she will again see them one day. JHS Sophomore, Devon Green, shared of losing his sister and cousin in a car accident in August. Allyssa and Destiny, both 2019 JHS Graduates, were attending Tarleton University. Devon talked of how he spoke to his sister every night and how hard it was getting the news. Through the support of the coaching staff and going to Church, Devon has been able to move on. He encouraged everyone to “Listen to your parents, do the right thing, and don’t just sit around. Life is important, don’t waste it, don’t give up, and believe in your dreams.”
Fields of Faith is a student led, Christ-centered, Bible-based movement started 15 years ago by Oklahoma Fellowship of Christian Athletes Area Director, Jeff Martin. He prayed about what to do with his heartfelt frustration regarding the temptations and spiritual battles facing our more “spectator generation” youth. God lead him to 2 Chronicles 34 for the answer. After two years his dream came true, when more than 6,000 students gathered on school athletic fields throughout Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas for Fields of Faith. Since that day hundreds of thousands of people have attended FOF and thousands have accepted Christ. Fellowship of Christian Athletes started when God placed a dream in the heart of a young basketball coach in Oklahoma to start an organization that would feature professional athletes professing their Christian faith in order to change the youth culture in America. It has been called “God’s amazing, miraculous dream,” by Don McClanen, the young coach who allowed God to stir up a movement that would change the lives of countless coaches and athletes over the next six decades through his dream. The official chartering date of FCA was November 10, 1954. On that day, in Norman, Okla., the organization’s first set of bylaws were approved, and the State of Oklahoma issued a charter to an organization named Fellowship of Christian Athletes. For more information on how you or your school can get involved in either of these organizations visit their websites.

Our ‘Lil Corner of the World Busy Bee Quilters Be so Busy! Story by Sandi Argo
Photos by Kate Argo
When the members of a small group of women gathered for their first meeting, in 1977, the 19 members who showed up probably did not imagine the extent of what they would see coming from their dream of fellowship and sharing in the creativity of sewing quilts. But 42 years and countless quilts later, the group has become a “staple” among folks who frequent the art and craft shows. Quilting itsself, an old and treasured art in which pieces of cloth are stitched together by skilled hands to make a padded material (most often used for blankets) is seeing a resurgance of sorts. With quilt shops popping up in both small towns and metropolitan areas, it is no surprise to learn the longevity of the Busy Bees. Their first show was held in May of 1980, with over 150 entries. This years show had over 50 entries, with many of them coming from over 50 miles away. From fall colors to springtime schemes, the Post Oak Community Center came alive with beautifully sewn wares! The quilt show is an annual event, held in the fall at the community center. Food, crafts, soaps and other items for sale made this a show for all ages. Mark your calendars now for next year’s show and check out the Post Oak Quilter website at the following: postoakquilters.com

Our ‘Lil Corner of the World Bryson Car Show& Festival in the Park Story and photos by Sandi Argo Motorheads from near and far polished up their classics and headed for Bryson, Texas for the 2nd Annual Bryson Car Show on October 5th. From hot rods to sedans and truck to jeeps, all walks of life were represented With clear blue skies above, the sun brought a little heat to the event, but a breeze kept things from getting too hot. Car show participants gathered under the shade of trees at the high school, talking about cars, and reliving the good old days. Vendors, food and fun were on tap throughout the day long event. Awards for the car show participants were handed out with braggin’ rights for another year.
Later in the evening, crowds enjoyed the music of Joey Woolery & Bobby O’Shields, Ross Shiflett, Jim Reger and the Purple Hulls. Door prizes as well as childrens activities made this a “fun for all ages” event that will not soon be forgotten. (See more car pics on back page!)
National Night Out
Community members young and old gathered Tuesday, October 1st for the 36th annual National Night Out.
Jacksboro Middle School hosted representatives from City of Jacksboro, Jacksboro Police Department, Jack County Sheriff ’s Department, Jacksboro Fire Department, Faith Community Hospital EMS, Texas Game Warden, Air Evac Lifeteam, STOMP, TX Department of Family & Protective Services, First Baptist Church, and Wise Hope. Perrin residents gathered at Perrin High School to meet representatives from Perrin Volunteer Fire Department, Jack County Sheriff ’s Office, Air Evac Lifeteam, various Churches and Organizations. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. National Night Out was introduced in August of 1984 through an already established network of law enforcement agencies, neighborhood watch groups, civic groups, state and regional crime prevention associations and volunteers across the nation. The first annual National Night Out involved 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities in 23 states. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October).

Members of local media were invited to join
NASCAR legend, Tony “Smoke” Stewart at Texas Motor Speedway on October 9th for the annual Smoke Show. The Smoke Show is a very interactive event where participants are given the chance to (not only) learn driving techniques from Tony Stewart in a driving school, but afterwards they get hands on experience driving an actual race car on the track. Topping off the day, participants then get to go on a thrill ride of a lifetime as Stewart straps in behind the wheel and hits “full race mode” as they take 3 laps around the track. The Smoke Show raised nearly $138,000.00 this year for Speedway Childrens Charities. Speedway Childrens Charities will grant all the funds to North Texas organizations that serve children in need. This year’s event consisted of 17 participants who both experienced the thrill of riding with Stewart, who drove at near-race speeds, as well as ran hot laps of their own behind the wheel. There were also a number of participants who simply took hot laps with the winner of Texas Motor Speedway’s fall races in 2006 and 2011. Stewart, who volunteers his time and effort, agreed to additional one-on-one rides which resulted in an additional $17,500 raised.
According to TMS Media the event had a few twists this year “The evening was capped off
with a dinner and live auction that was attended by 120 guests, including the day’s participants. The live auction was relatively small, with six items to bid on including the racing helmet Stewart wore that day as well as race experience packages. However, careful maneuvering and cajoling by Stewart and track president Eddie Gossage to double up on a couple of the items as the bidding went back and forth, ended up bringing the live auction total to $42,000” Local media members were given the opportunity to visit with Stewart as the day progressed. Always “courteously unpredictable” toward media, Stewart did not disappoint. Bringing a bit of a twist to Stewart ourselves, we asked the retired Cup driver which of his wins stood out as being his favorite. (Plot twist...we polled Prosper, Tx native and current driver of the #37 car Chris Buescher if there was anything he would like to ask Stewart). Although Stewart admitted there were so many, he quickly chose the 2011 race at Homestead. “There were so many things that happened” Stewart said “There was the repair of the car and one of the things that I catch myself being imnpressed with was how many cars in position we passed. It’s not like a regular race where, if you start in the back you’re going to pass 30 to 35 cars for the lead. We passed like a hundred and seventeen cars or a hundred twelve cars for position, because of going to the back, going back to the front, then going to the back and then going back to the front, so, and that doesn’t even count all of the lap cars we passed during all this. But that race, with all of the drama and everything that was on the line...that is one marquee race that stands out.” When asked what advice Stewart might pass along to the young driver (Buescher) Stewart replied “I don’t even know what to offer him as advice, now. He’s doing a good job and he’s running well in the car that hes in. He’s one of those guys that, well he’s pretty solid. He’s not one of those guys that you have to work with a lot. He’s got a pretty good grasp of whats going on and he thinks about what he’s doing when he’s out there” Stewart added “Theres a lot of guys out there that... don’t really have it. There are guys out there that know how to drive the car, know how to mash the gas but aren’t very smart. Chris is one of those guys that thinks about more than just that one lap he knows how to put the race together”. That coming from a future inductee to the NASCAR Hall of Fame (He will be inducted alongside team owner Joe Gibbs, engine builder and crew chief Waddell Wilson, and drivers Waiting to roll, Chris Buescher gets ready to hit the track in Buddy Baker and Bobby Labonte) holds a lot of the #37 MENCS Camaro L1. clout.

For the first time ever, Jacksboro was picked to be showcased as a Destination Day at the State Fair of Texas. “We are focused on our tourism right now and advancing the future of Jacksboro” Leslie Chalmers, Jacksboro Chamber Executive Director. “Getting to attend events like this helps to broaden the exposure of Jacksboro and educate people on all the wonderful things this community has to offer.” Jacksboro was well represented for the day by Chamber Board members, Jacksboro City Officials, and Jacksboro Economic Development Corporation.
The Texas Heritage Trail program is made up of 10 trails that cover the state of Texas. Every year THTP has a booth at the State Fair of Texas in the Go Texan Pavilion. Collaboratively there are 23 out of 24 days opened for communities to participate in a Destination Day. Destination Days gives communities an opportunity to spend the day at the fair in the booth promoting their community and the wonderful things in their community that makes them who they are. Since there are only 23 days for this and THTP covers the whole state of Texas it is very competitive to get in as a destination day. All ten executive directors release the information at the same time to give everyone in their regions an opportunity to sign up to participate. This year all 23 days filled within 2 hours. Jacksboro was one out of four in the Texas Forts Trail Region that got in on Destination Day. Aside from Destination Days, the Texas Heritage Trail Regions booth is full of brochures, rack cards, magazines, guides, maps etc. from Texas communities. Each community is given information to send their brochures or guides to the State Fair of Texas to be displayed for the travelers to come through and pick up free of charge. The Texas Heritage Trail Regions booth is an information booth of sorts for the traveler. The 24 days the booth is opened at the state fair is spent promoting travel in Texas. The Texas Heritage Trails Program THTP is the Texas Historical Commission's award-winning heritage tourism initiative. This economic development initiative encourages communities, heritage regions, and the state to partner and promote Texas' historic and cultural resources. These successful local preservation efforts, combined with statewide marketing of heritage regions as tourism destinations, increase visitation to cultural and historic sites, and bring more dollars to Texas communities. This, in turn, supports the THC's mission to protect and preserve the state's historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education economic benefit, and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Jack County hosts annual Red Stegall Wagon Train Photos by Kate Argo
Wagon masters and outriders from near and far traveled through Jack County on their annual trek to the Ft Worth Stockyards for the Red StegallCowboy Gatherin’, held in October. The group began its trail ride at the Jack County Sheriff Posse arena and then made it’s way to welcomed pasture in Perrin, where they camped Sunday night.
