Terlingua Public Library presents Marlys Hersey, founder of Far Out Hooping in Alpine, for an evening of fun with hoops. Please join us at the library Thursday, January 21 at 6 pm for an evening of hoopiness. Improve your health and well being; join us in using the hoop to take us through a full range of motion, loosening our spines, stretching and strengthening our muscles, improving our balance, and increasing our joy with this portable and inexpensive toy. Have a hula-hoop? Bring it. Or borrow one of Marlys’. Come dressed to move and maybe even sweat. Female, male, young, not so young, tall, short, thin, heavy: this is a program for everyone. That toy you may have enjoyed as a child can be a great means to fitness, dance, joy, a daily movement practice, and community building. Marlys Hersey is a Licensed Massage Therapist, and Hoop Love Coach of hoopdance. Terlingua Public Library is located on the campus of Terlingua Common School District. All programs are free and open to the public. Help with refreshments is always welcomed! Contact Glenda Luttrell if you would like to make a donation or bring something to share.

Music & Entertainment
Slim Fest oNe. Many Terlingua-area residents knew Texas' Most Dangerous Guitarist, Slim Richey. He and his wife Francie have property in Terlingua and it was their Winter Playground. Slim died in 2015 and to honor his memory, Slim Fest oNe is happening the weekend of Slim's Birthday - February 11. The Festival is February 11 -14th and is being held exclusively at The Boathouse. The lineup is incredible: Carolyn Wonderland, Butch & Rory Hancock, Ghosts Along the Brazos (together again for the festival), The Jitterbug Vipers, Alan Munde & Friends and more!
Tickets are on sale at www.faroutbooking.com (just click on Slim). Some packages include camping options for those coming from out of town so help spread the word. Tickets are also available at the door but you save a little dough if you get them in advance. There is also a special package for folks participating in the Chihuahuan Desert Bike Fest. Just stop by The Boathouse, show your Bike Fest wrist band and you get 3 nights’ camping plus entry to the festival for $60. Let's celebrate Slim in style with the great music and people he loved in his home away from home.

Miscellaneous
DOLLY is a 4-5 year old Dachshund who is a lot of fun to be around and to quietly cuddle with. She came in as a stray but she is well-socialized and has a wonderful disposition. DOLLY gets along with all people, dogs, and cats. She knows some commands and is always looking to obey/please. When she gets excited, she even has a little smile! DOLLY has a manageable amount of energy - she loves to be in the center of things just as much as she loves sitting and snoozing in a lap. She has been spayed, micro chipped and is 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 here. For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com.
The Terlingua Bottoms Group of AA meets every Thursday at 7:30 at the Big Bend Church in Study Butte. The meetings are open to anyone who has or thinks they may have a drinking problem.
