TWO ARTISTS TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR:
Earth and Fire Gallery in the Terlingua Ghost Town is pleased to announce that Sam Richardson, aka SAM•U•L, is the featured artist through Jan. 1.
Among the new works SAM•U•L will be showing include paintings, drawings and mixed media on the Burro Lady, Quanah Parker, Rooster Cogburn, and “The Ascension of the ‘57 Chevy.”
Three art books will be on display during the show, including “Twelve Lessons of the Desert,” about his years as a Big Bend River Guide; and his newest work “Football, Basketball, Baseball—Drawings, Sketches and Cartoons,” about his years as a sports announcer in Austin.
SAM•U•L is a Taos, New Mexico based artist and writer who has done an annual holiday show in the Ghost Town for the past four years.
Also at Earth and Fire, please show your support for the arts at the upcoming reception for Marty Walker Anderson from 4:00 to 7:00 on December 31st.
Anderson, an accomplished artist living in Durango, Colorado, paints acrylic southwest landscapes and cowboy art. With roots in the Big Bend - she was born in Marfa - Anderson spent time as a child on a ranch upriver from Presidio. Her grandparents were original settlers in Big Bend National Park, having lived at the head of Mariscal Canyon from 1910 to 1922.

SADIE MAE is a 6-year-old lab/hound mix who is as chill and affectionate as they come.  Nothing makes her happier than spending time with people and other dogs. SADIE doesn’t have the energy for rowdy games of play, but she’s delighted to mill around and wag her tail when it’s happening around her.  She has a knack for the tennis ball and appreciates games of fetch. She is great at returning affection by leaning against you. Whether she was lost or abandoned, SADIE is a dog who misses home life and a devoted owner. She hopes that she can start 2016 with a new family that loves her forever. SADIE is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all shots. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. All AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com

Within the week, H2O 2 Go will move to Bee Mountain Hardware complex - weather permitting. Right now the parking lot is a mud lake; And we hear that it is likely to snow again over the New Year's weekend.  You might call the Burrs (2506), or the hardware store (3113) before you make a special trip in to town for water.
