With much appreciation from the residents of South Brewster County, for our new, gorgeous, state-of-the-art, recycling trailer… THANK YOU TO: Marcos Paredes, Hugh Garrett, Judge Cano and all the County Commissioners. The trailer will be located at the Fire and EMS building unless it’s in transit to be emptied. Also, THANK YOU to all the BBNP Superintendents and employees who have supported our efforts to keep our desert beautiful.
The old recycle wagon. Many, community-minded, dedicated volunteers made this system work as well as possible. THANK YOU ALL ! Mindy Hamlett, Shannon Carter, Zoey & Kevin Sexton, Terry & Susi Ervin, Joe & Sue Rife, Leon & Ruth Jansyn, Patricia Kern, John & Melissa Forsythe, Nancy Fabion, Jim Craig, Trevor Reichman, Sandy Smith, Janet Sullivan, Greg Grimes… I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. A BIG thank you to Rio Grande Electric Co-op for donating the white truck which made transport of the old wagon possible and to BBNP for working with us.
* SPECIAL THANKS to Tom & Dori Ramsay for tending the electronic recycling trailer… HUGE SUCCESS !!!

Becoming Fine Art and Mechanic Shop: Auto technicians do not relish telling their customers that they need expensive repair work, …especially if it is due to lack of proper maintenance. What they do enjoy are customers that get their regularly-scheduled maintenance done, i.e. oil changes, tune-ups, EFI cleanings, etc. These services add years to your car’s life, often result in better gas mileage, and give your tech the opportunity on a consistent basis to look your car over for any fluid leaks or other "first tells" of more serious issues. Call 371-2694 or stop by. The Gallery is open and we have new stuff.
Honey-Do Gabe provides skill and experience to perform a variety of interior and exterior services …for your home or business.I am eager to help with projects at your home or business..My name is Gabriel Guerrero I am located at Becoming Fine Art. please call for ideas, rates or scheduling. 432-371-2694
