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. I’m helping organize the musical lineup and am putting out a call now for interested musicians from the Terlingua area. Let me know if you’re interested and available. Thanks!  Marc Utter
