The Terlingua Moon   


Tuesday --Vol. 34, #50 --Next MOON: Send MOON news by Monday NOON for that week’s MOON to terlinguamoon@gmail.comPLEASE no PDFs or fancy fonts!  PDFs cannot be copied by some editors.  We have to totally retype.  Please be good to the editors and DO NOT SEND PDFs.  We are on the web at: theterlinguamoon.blogspot.com.  This Moon by Ghostwriters on the Sly.

 

Come see us at the Saturday Community Market from 10:00-1:00.  Located at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town, we're there every Saturday with happy vendors offering an array of locally produced goods and other items.3

--Local art, a beekeeper's lovely honey and wax, handcrafted textile goods, goat milk soap, all natural lip balms, hand balms, essential oil perfumes and sugar scrubs, Zoey's leather goods, handcrafted, creative jewelry, including Kim's, many made with local stones, block printed textiles and vintage goods, both curated and upcycled, practical and artistic items made of reclaimed steel and more -- you never know just what or who you'll find here. Indeed, lately, chess players have been meeting up for a game or two or three or....Sandy's got her super cute pop-up shop here and Valerie is here with her fine selection of culinary treats.

--We welcome new vendors. Come set up down here in the shade to sell your wares. Flea market items are welcome. After all, reusing and up-cycling already existing items is smart and green. We ask a $10 donation to the Community Garden to set up, helping us to continue to improve this space and experience for all of us. For more information, text or call 432.213.1863, email SherriTheWriter@aol.com or pop in to the market for a chat. Prepared food vendors must display current food handling license. (A quick, easy and affordable online course can provide that).

--Please help keep our market space safe and comfortable for all, two-legged and four, by keeping all dogs leashed and under control. We look forward to seeing you there.

Kristi called “the Alpine HS today to see when the next spay/neuter clinic might be.  They are in Deep (the 5 digit range) for the clinics they’ve already done this year.  They have to pay the vets, put them up & feed them to make it happen.  For whatever reason expenses have Skyrocketed & their donations are down 45%.   This is a Wonderful local organization & they do a lot for the whole county can we make it up before Christmas?  Send them a few bucks if you can, if your critter goes missing it’s most likely them you’ll be calling eventually.”
