TERLINGUA MOON
Vol 28. No. 1
January 3 , 2017
Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters,
and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.

This week´s issue by Terlingua Thinking Team! (That´s what I thought!)
27th Annual Black-eyed Pea Off! The
new year dawned with a gorgeous day for the Pea Off!!! There was a
record 41 entrees this year. 3rd place went to the three Ivey Brothers;
2nd place went to Johnny Holland and his cooking mate Renate; 1st place
and trophy went to a man who has now won the event five times, Robert
Hill. He promises his mantel can hold no more trophies, and will help
us judge next year (he obviously knows good peas!) A huge thank you to
Mike Marks and friends (the Rafters) for an afternoon of rocking music.
And thank yous go out to El Dorado & High Sierra, La Posada
Milagro y Poco Mas, Big Bend Resort and Adventures, Holiday Hotel and
the Starlight Theater, Far Flung Outdoor Center, Big Bend Stables, and
Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa for their contributions to the Hot Date
Raffle.Thanks also go out to the Cottonwood, BBRT, Shot Time Liquors,
Earth and Fire Gallery, and Bill Wilson for additional items to raffle.
And the CAKES! Thank you India Wilson, Cindy Burns, Maria Blosser for
helping with that. With the help of our Deputy Patrick we "arrested"
Lisa Ivey and put her in the Terlingua Ghostown jail (used once a year
for this event) The crowd raised hundreds of dollars to get her freedom
back. $2,685.00 was raised this year for Last Minute, Low Budget Productions. Happy New Year and good luck in 2017.
