BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK UPDATE!
We've been informed by the park superintendent, Bob Krumenaker, that trash is being picked up in the Chisos Basin by Forever Resorts, the folks who run concessions. Thank you to them! We are also in talks with other groups in the Big Bend region, @basecampterlingua and the Brewster County Tourism Council, to organize volunteer groups to help pick up trash throughout the park. The superintendent is confident that a plan will be approved by the acting Secretary of the Interior to take unused park entry fees to pay for trash pick up and custodial services. That decision should be coming soon! Thank you to our awesome Big Bend Community for making sure our Park remains open and clean for visitors!
It's always a good plan to pack out everything you bring in and help pick up trash while you visit Big Bend. We will continue to keep you posted.
Additionally, because the park is not collecting entrance fees, we are encouraging people to make donations to The Big Bend conservancy at http://www.bigbendfriends.org/support

THIS YEAR'S BLACKEYED PEA OFF was dedicated to Bill Bourbon, longtime participant, dearly missed, and honorary winner. Fun was had on Jan. 1st, as all ate black-eyed peas for good luck. First place went to Doug Christian of Terlingua; 2nd place to Abby Love, Austin, TX; and 3rd place was a tie between Cade Furlow (who's cooking team placed, last year) of O'donald, TX and Terlingua local Jennifer Hensen. A total of $2.552.00 (and counting) was raised for non-profit theater group, Last Minute, Low Budget Productions by our generous community. Music provided by Just Us Girls was magical, harmonic, nostalgia, one note at a time...goosebumps and tears of joy swept through dancers, audience, and even the band! The "hot date raffle" was a HUGE success, thanks to contributions from Lajitas Golf Resort, Chisos Mountain Lodge and Big Bend Resorts, the Starlight Theater and Big Bend Holiday Hotel, High Sierra Bar and Grill, Far Flung Outdoor Center, Big Bend Stables, and the Cottonwood General Store. Thank You, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! From Pam Ware.

I am deeply inspired and love being surrounded by these magical mountains and creative community. I look forward to many happy and rewarding years as a productive artist."

A MESSAGE FROM JON BLACKMON: “... I am closing down all my websites (89 of them are related to Terlingua). Doctor bills have bankrupted me and I can't afford the $360 every six months to keep them active. The Chamber of Commerce is one that will be out of commission, as well as most of the businesses in town and of course my favorite, DrDougs.com.”
MARGARETE’S MISSING WATER. From Dani Bottenfield: To whom it may concern. Someone went to Margarete's Quilt shop and drained 11K gallons of water from all her tanks onto the ground.
This lovely lady has been in this community a very long time and she will now have to purchase water to replace what was lost. It is vandalism pure and simple. I hope you are proud.

A MESSAGE FROM JON BLACKMON: “... I am closing down all my websites (89 of them are related to Terlingua). Doctor bills have bankrupted me and I can't afford the $360 every six months to keep them active. The Chamber of Commerce is one that will be out of commission, as well as most of the businesses in town and of course my favorite, DrDougs.com.”
MARGARETE’S MISSING WATER. From Dani Bottenfield: To whom it may concern. Someone went to Margarete's Quilt shop and drained 11K gallons of water from all her tanks onto the ground.
This lovely lady has been in this community a very long time and she will now have to purchase water to replace what was lost. It is vandalism pure and simple. I hope you are proud.
