POATRI POTLUCK:  Please join your friends and neighbors at the next monthly property owner potluck on Thursday, June 5th, 6:00 pm, at the Bunkhouse on Terlingua Ranch.  Please bring a dish to share.  The ranch will provide cutlery, plates, iced tea, and water.  For more information call Marilynn at 512.484.1409.

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. 

Local art, handcrafted textile goods, fresh eggs, all natural lip balms and skin care products, essential oil perfumes, handcrafted, creative jewelry, resin creations, 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. 

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. 

We'll be here all summer, in the shade. This year, we're celebrating the summer season by waiving the set up donation on the last Saturday of each of our summer months. It's a great way for a creator or new vendor to try out our market. We typically have a table and chair or two to loan to new vendors. 

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 licence. (A quick, easy and affordable online course can provide that).

The Alpine Avalanche just printed a Letter to the Editor from the (finally) new Postmaster at the Alpine Post Office.  His name is Oscar Davila and he seems to have extensive experience in small town and rural Postal service.  In his letter he invites people to visit him at the Post Office to share any ideas or concerns we might have.  Given the current turmoil (again) with our contracted delivery I think it is a good time to call or visit Mr. Davila, as he asked us to do in his letter to the editor. (Paul)

Please share far and wide.
