 The Starlight Theatre will kick the party off on Friday at 6pm featuring live music all night.

Then Saturday night, The Starlight Theatre will feature the Funky Junk Art Show & silent auction with additional live music from 6pm – close. Costumes are encouraged for Saturday night, with the best costume receiving an EyEBall art piece. We’ll be back in the Garden on Sunday with music and activities from noon till 3pm when the Sunday Funday song circle will round out the goodtime.
 Suggested Donations will be encouraged the weekend of the party in Ghostown, or in advance online. We would like to thank both the Starlight Theatre and Shot Time Liquor in advance for stepping up as sponsors.  If you can’t attend but would like to help the cause, go online to www.cabin10.org , where a minimum suggested donation of $30 will have a Funky Junk T-Shirt delivered directly to you.  Also, we are seeking items from the community for our silent auction, so let us know if you have an item or a service you are willing to donate.

Annie, oh Annie. Missing you…the laughs and rants and heartfelt conversations. I will miss your stories of France and New York and California. I long to hear your deep, raspy voice talk of your river adventures and Grateful Dead concerts. How will I keep up with the news and sports playoffs without you? I will miss the parade of foster dogs and the fabulous meals made with so much love. Thank you for serving our country in the military. Thank you for your feisty reminders to fight the good fight. Yes, we will vote. Thank for editing the Moon when you had to make copies and hand deliver them. We are deeply saddened that the cancer took you away from us. You may have left a small footprint on this planet by living in an off-grid yurt, but you made a huge impact on many lives. May your journey to the afterlife be on a gorgeous, healthy river in a raft filled with all of your canine friends. May your family and friends find peace. We love you!

GoFundMe fundraiser for the Mendoza family of Terlingua

 

Juanita suffered an unexpected medical emergency recently, and we all know too well how quickly medical expenses can rack up when you are least able to deal with the burden. Even with insurance, many costs aren't covered or exceed coverage limits, and some providers might be out of network.

Traveling to and from medical appointments can also become costly, and insurance doesn't cover gas and other travel expenses.

Juanita and Carlos have worked hard and given much of themselves to our community. It's our turn to help them as much as we can.

Thanks for any amount you can donate!

An Old Sign of Terlingua Times:

"Next time two hours hangs heavy on your heads, spend it on our porch. Along in the cool of the evenin', we present 'Sunset on the Chisos' in natural color and on the widest screen on earth. It's pure beauty gone plumb loco in thin blue air. A million pairs of 20-20 eyes can't take in all its beauty. All props ten million times older than the pyramids. All sunsets painted personally by the good Lord his own self."

Hello friends and neighbors! I have exciting news. Voices from Both Sides community party is back in the works! We are aiming for May 13th of 2023, 21 years after the border was closed.
