I traveled over to Llano to visit with folks at the local Lyssy and Eckel Feed, Inc. A special thanks to the fine folks at the feed store for allowing us to meet in their community room. It is always great to be traveling the district where I get to meet up with longtime friends and supporters. Glad to get the chance to see Llano City Manager Scott Edmundson and Dr. Whitney Whitworth from the Llano County Extension Service!

Today my District Tour took me to Mason. I was honored to present the Governor’s Yellow Rose of Texas Award to Donna Gay Horton Byrd of Mason for her outstanding service to her community serving as a longtime member of the National Colonial Dames XVII Century. Congratulations to Donna in her receipt of this prestigious award. I also visited with Mason County residents about the Constitutional Amendments that will be on the ballot in November and the the state of politics in Texas. Thanks Mason County for your continued support!

Congratulations to the Kimble County Historical Museum for being awarded the John L. Nau, III Award for Excellence in Museums by the Texas Historical Commission! The Kimble County Museum was selected for its exceptional achievements in historical interpretation, museum education, conservation of collections, and community involvement. As a Kimble County Resident, I am so proud of the hard work and passion made by the Kimble County Historical Commission and Frederica Wyatt to tell the story of our county. I look forward to taking Coke and Baby Jack to the Museum so they can learn about the rich history of Kimble County!
