Is your dog ready? We mean your Chihuahua, or a similarly small dog. You must know by now that the 12th annual Terlingua Chihuahua Dog Races are this coming Saturday (March 7) at the Family Crisis Center in Terlingua Ghost Town. If you haven’t been training your petite pup for the races, it’s not too late — but do it today or tomorrow. Registration starts at 10 a.m., the costume contest (always funny) is at noon, and the races follow at 1 pm. There also will be a silent auction, and all proceeds support the Family Crisis Center of the Big Bend. Come out to race your dog(s) or just to enjoy the fun and entertainment. Music by Dr Fun.  Please call Mike Drinkard with any questions:  371-3147

Otra Vez:  We'll be open Saturday, March 7, 9-12, as well as every Wednesday, 9-12.  Advance Notice:  As soon as the weather cooperates and warms up, we'll have a huge parking lot sale.  Hope springs eternal!
