KEN
AND JOEE BARNES 30th ANNUAL MEMORIAL FUNDRAISER
November 8, 2025:
We lost Joee May Barnes at the age
of 16 after a tragic accident. The community opened their hearts and rallied to
raise funds for our family, but it wasn’t needed for its intended purpose. Joee
attended Terlingua High School, so we decided to return the money by creating a
scholarship in her name. My father, Ken Barnes, kept the scholarship fund going
by honoring Joee’s memory with a Memorial Fundraiser every year. My husband and
I have kept the tradition going after Dad’s passing and the fundraiser now honors
both their memories.
Join us November 8th for our
annual Cribbage & Horseshoe tournaments (sign up at 9), BBQ (noonish) and
silent auction at the Terlingua Ghostown Horseshoe Pits. All proceeds go to
TCSD High School Graduate Scholarships.
THE
LONGHORN RESTAURANT:
is
open with consistent hours Wednesday-Saturday 7am-4pm and Sunday
8am-4pm
Those hours will extend with the hiring of
new team members, and yes we are hiring for all positions.
MILKY
WAY TREATS:
Saturday morning
bakery pop-up will be open at 10am at the ice cream trailer! We’ll have our
delicious homemade cinnamon rolls, biscuit breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon roll
bread pudding, and more! Hot coffee as well!
The ice cream trailer will be open this weekend as well,
Saturday – Monday, 4–9 p.m. We’ll have our creamy vanilla soft serve along with
dairy-free pineapple. Lots of delicious, homemade pints of ice cream, and some
fun sundaes!! Be sure to check out the community market and all the wonderful
things our local vendors are selling there.
And if you haven’t
checked out the new food truck next to us, Dead Hungry, it’s amazing! Give it a
taste today!! Gracias, Terlingua!

THE
FAMILY CRISIS CENTER:
Does a monthly food distribution to residents of South
Brewster County. The donations made to the Crisis Center are used to
purchase this food from the West Texas Food Bank. Shout out
to all of the local people who graciously donate to this cause and to all of
the visiting groups who drop off donation checks when they visit the area. The
monies are being used to help feed Terlingua.
The West
Texas Food Bank delivers approximately 17,000 pounds of food once a month and
it is up to us to unload it and box it up to be distributed. This work is done
by volunteers. We have truck delivery and boxing day and we have a
distribution day, that is two days of hard labor for all of the
volunteers. If you see these folks – PLEASE SAY THANK YOU to them.
Without the volunteers, these distributions would not happen. Michael and I
cannot do this by ourselves. If you can volunteer, please do, we can use all
the help we can get. If you cannot volunteer, please remember to be kind
to the ones who are.
We are looking at our next distribution as Friday November 14th, which
means the truck should be arriving the 13th. These dates may change
according to the WTFB schedule.
In order to get a box, you will be required to have a WTFB card. If you don't
have one already please stop by this week to get one. We use the amount of
cards we have issued to order the food. In order to get a card you will
need to have a photo id and proof of residence in South Brewster County.
We are no longer accepting photos of id or residence from cell phones. If
you sign up after the order has been placed you will need to wait until after 1
pm on distribution day to pick up a box.
Thank you to everyone who makes this event possible! It is so much fun
being apart of this community.

the Community Garden to set up, helping us to continue to improve this space
and experience for all of us.
We welcome new vendors. To make it easy for new vendors to
try our market and to show our appreciation to our regular vendors, we waive

day.

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.
