This Moon by Ghostwriters on the Sly.

From Robert: Well, another good day at the RECYCLE. Full load of good stuff. No fuss, no muss. And nobody got the old grouchy guys grouchy. Closed next week for the holidays but will hopefully reopen on September 7 from 9am to 11am. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler then. 1/2 of the old grouches.

Do you make art? Are you looking for a place to sell it? Maybe make some new connections in the art world?
We have just the event for you! On October 31st, we will be having an outdoor art market 10am-2pm with live music at High Sierra Bar and Grill! We are looking for artists of all kinds who would like to set up a booth! Please call or text 432-244-9061 or message High Sierra on Facebook to get added onto our vendor list!

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS meeting: if you have, or think you might have, a drinking problem, we meet at 7:30 Thursday evening at the Big Bend Church, just north of the post office.

Come see us at the Saturday Community Market from 10:00-1:00. Located at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town, we're here every Saturday with happy vendors offering an array of locally produced goods and other items.  Fresh eggs, local art, handcrafted textile goods, goat milk soap, all natural lip balms and skin care products, essential oil perfumes, leather goods, handcrafted, creative jewelry, 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... --We welcome new vendors. Flea market items are also 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.

Ring at Many Stones has lots of personal items to sell. A four box worm farm, 40 egg incubator, fish tanks and the gear, tool kits, antique kerosene lamps, fishing gear, and lots of other things. Come by and check it out,

The General Election takes place on November 5th. Many more voter registration events will be scheduled between now and October 7, the last day to register to vote for the General Election. The mail ballot application deadline is October 25th. Early voting begins October 21st and ends November 1st. The Tri-County Voter Promoters encourages people to vote and helps them to do so. We help them find out if they are fully registered, or if they need to update their registration with a new address. We show them how to check their voter status at the Secretary of State’s My Voter Portal. We are a nonpartisan organization that registers all comers. Our goal is to expand the voter base, with special attention to younger voters and Spanish-speakers with low registration rates. The Tri-County Voter Promoters believe that YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE, and YOUR VOTE COUNTS. Helping people register to vote for the very first time or helping them ensure they are still registered, can be rewarding experiences. And participating in the democratic process can be EMPOWERING! Don’t forget: the next PUBLIC MEETING of our Jeff Davis County Democratic Party & FRIENDS will be held August 24th, 11 am, at the Jeff Davis County Community Center (601 Cemetery Road in Fort Davis).

Ramon Rodriguez Aranda will discuss his Get-Out-The-Vote Plan for the City of Presidio, which will be expanded to cover the entire tri-county area.
