Hey there! So, yesterday was quite the day in Abilene, and there’s definitely a lot to catch up on. For starters, over 200 residents in the southeast part of town and Potosi found themselves without water due to a significant main line break. The Potosi Water Supply Corporation was on the case, working hard to restore service, but it’s never fun when something like that happens. Hopefully, those affected are back to normal soon—nothing like a reliable water supply to keep our days running smoothly!

On a brighter note, our Abilene Regional Airport is holding steady amid the ongoing government shutdown. Transportation Director Don Green assured everyone that operations are normal, and renovations are moving ahead as planned. So if you have any travel plans on the horizon, you can rest easy knowing things are chugging along just fine at the airport. It’s good to see some positive news, especially when it feels like there’s a lot of uncertainty out there.

As we inch closer to Thanksgiving, the Abilene Salvation Army is gearing up for their big feast and is asking for help to serve hundreds of folks in need. It might still be spooky season, but it’s heartwarming to think about the community coming together for such a meaningful cause. If you’re looking to lend a hand, this could be a wonderful way to get involved and spread some holiday cheer.

And in the world of local sports, the Abilene Raceway hosted an emotional benefit for Scott Mac, a beloved four-time NHRDA champion. The atmosphere was electric, with engines roaring and a community rallying together to show their support. It’s moments like these that really highlight the spirit of our town—coming together for friends, family, and those in need. So, there you have it, a little snapshot of our Abilene life from yesterday!
