Without water... NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. The majority of us don't have the option
to burden our local water corp. A truck-load of catchment tanks is forming right now; our
last load of the year. A full load means $0 freight costs. Wylie is the gold standard in quality
and the prices they give us for our continued patronage are the best in the market.
They are a Texas-based, family business since the '30s. Made In America!
We already have the heavy-duty Banjo valves on hand if you need them.
Call or leave a message on the landline 2506, or email me at elcentro432@gmail.com.

Marfa Live Arts and Starlight Entertainment will present All About Bette: An Interlude with Bette Davis, a play that celebrates the life and work of Bette Davis on Saturday, October 27 at the Crowley Theater.
Bette Davis’ entire life was a drama with comedic episodes. With nothing but raw talent and raw determination, she became the most famous woman in the world, taking on the Hollywood studio system, the FBI and the Catholic Church. In fact, she requested, “SHE DID IT THE HARD WAY” to be etched onto her tombstone.
All About Bette stars Morgana Shaw (Salem, Friday Night Lights, Walker Texas Ranger) who fully embodies and becomes Bette, sharing and revealing her tumultuous ride through the male dominated golden era of Hollywood. This multiple award-winning work was written by El Paso-based playwright Camilla Carr, and produced by seven-time Tony Award recipient, Michael A. Jenkins (An American in Paris, Matilda, The Color Purple and Kinky Boots.) For more information go to www.marfalivearts.org
Candy is an adorable, healthy Chihuahua/Boston Terrier Mix that is as sweet as can be. She is 6 years old, but age is only a number! Candy enjoys going for walks, loves to ride in the car and will be your best friend if you let her sit in the front seat! She is looking for someone that will be patient with her as she is fearful of most people until she gets to know them. Candy is house trained, spayed and fully vaccinated. She will make a non-Chihuahua lover turn into a Chihuahua lover! She is currently being fostered in South Brewster County but will travel to meet you. For more information on this black and white cutie, or any pet in the Alpine Shelter please email admin@alpinehumanesociety.org.
