SOTOL FESTIVAL 2019
Announcing Sotol Festival 2019!
Join us as we celebrate the indigenous distilled spirit of the Chihuahuan Desert at La Kiva Restaurant and Bar in Terlingua, Texas and Boquillas, Coahuila, MX on April 12-13. At this one-of-a-kind, binational festival you will have the opportunity to try many brands of sotol and meet the sotoleros who produce it, along with on-site camping, live music, local vendors and more. If you are asking yourself “What is sotol?” or if you have known about this earthy elixir for years, this festival is for you. On Friday, April 12, the festivities begin at La Kiva Restaurant and Bar, with live music from some of the best Terlingua local musicians. Saturday morning we're taking the party across the Río Grande from Big Bend National Park to our favorite town in México, Boquillas, for an authentic experience and to celebrate the unity, peace, dignity, and respect that we enjoy daily here in our piece of the borderland.  On Saturday night, the party reconvenes at La Kiva for more live music from the Pinche Gringos, The Doodlin' Hogwallops, and headliners, Mike & The Moonpies – and, of course, more sotol tasting! Admission to Sotol Festival 2019 is free, and campsites are available to reserve now at www.sotolfestival.com. Official festival t-shirts and merch are also available for pre-order and are expected to sell out, so don’t wait. Pack your bags, don’t forget your passport, and get ready to SOTOL FEST!

Funky Treasures from recycled materials and found objects by West Texas
Artist - Lori Griffin.  Art that is fun and bright.  Every piece has
it's own history and story.  Techniques vary .... each piece unique.
Art series shown will vary with different  series on different dates so
make sure you join or check back to get the updates.  If you only make
it down once ... mark your calendar for March 16th.  There will be a
reception from 6-9 PM.
               AND...........what everyone has been waiting for ......
Wire Connected to ZuZu  "art pieces" will be available for purchase.
March 1st the show will open with some of the wire connected pieces.  They will be hung on the 1st!  These pieces will be sold and funds used  to support conceptional art installations in 2019 with The Back Room.  A great chance for you to support the local art in West Texas and take home a piece of art.  This is our way of remembering.   How it began ......In 2017, a group of artists painted a series of boards reclaimed from an old adobe home.  These paintings are all abstract, no images. They were hung in honor of Zuzu.  A beautiful tribute.  #zuzueffect. Want to view the piece and see who the artist is?  First you need to join The Back Room Group - (just ask to join ) here is the link:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/BackRoomAlpine/

MAYBE YOUR FUTURE DOGGIE?  RED GIRL
Are you looking for a cuddle bug? Red could be your girl! Red is approximately two years old, and she has never met a stranger. She truly loves people. Red loves other dogs too, but not so much cats! We would recommend she goes to a feline-free home. Overall, Red is pretty easy going. She walks like a dream on a leash! Red sleeps nicely in a crate indoors at night and it outside during the day. She hasn't yet had free roam inside the house, so she may need a little work with house training. Red is spayed and fully vaccinated. Even though she can play hard, all she really wants to do is snuggle up to you for some lovin'. Are you ready? Please email mmwesttx@yahoo.com or contact the Marathon Animal Shelter at  432-386-4593.

BIG BEND HIGH SCHOOL ROBOTICS TEAM 
will be hosting an open house and fundraiser Saturday April 13th, 2019. Approximately 7 AM to 12 PM. Come see our robot demonstrations. Weather permitting we will have tethered hot air balloon rides. More details to come.
