First off, I have to mention that 13 counties, including ours, are still under a burn ban despite some recent rainfall. It's a good reminder for all of us to stay cautious with anything that could spark a fire, especially as we head into the cooler months. The Texas A&M Forest Service has been keeping an eye on it, so let's stay safe out there!

The annual parade was a hit, with student organizations showing off their creativity and school spirit, and the football game had everyone cheering on their Wildcats. It’s always heartwarming to see the community come together like that, celebrating our local pride and traditions.

As for our high school football teams, the Friday night action wrapped up last week, and the scores are in! It’s hard to believe we’re already in Week 10 of the season. Whether your team came out on top or not, it’s all part of the fun of supporting our young athletes. There's always excitement in the air as we cheer them on from the stands.

Lastly, there was a fire at a spray foam insulation business here in Abilene on Halloween evening. Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, but it’s definitely a reminder of how quickly things can change. The fire department responded promptly, so a big shoutout to them for their hard work! Let’s keep our eyes peeled and stay safe, Abilene.
