Hey there! Yesterday was quite the day in Abilene, with some notable happenings that caught everyone’s attention. First off, President Trump threw his support behind Congressman Jodey Arrington for re-election. He praised Arrington for his work in representing our area, saying he’s doing an incredible job. It’s always interesting to see how national figures influence local elections, isn’t it? The upcoming election is shaping up to be quite eventful!

In other news, there was a bit of a scare over at the old Fannin Elementary School. Unfortunately, the building was broken into over the weekend, but one local nonprofit is stepping up to help prevent it from happening again. It’s heartening to see our community come together like this, especially when it comes to preserving our beloved landmarks and ensuring they’re safe. We’ll be keeping an eye on how this develops!

On a more somber note, we learned that an Abilene man was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to a child sex crime. It’s a tough reminder of some of the serious issues we face, but it’s also a testament to the justice system working to hold individuals accountable. Meanwhile, there was a tragic crash in Brown County that claimed the life of a young driver. Our hearts go out to the families affected by these incidents.

Lastly, let’s not forget that the food drive hosted by KTAB and KRBC is just around the corner, happening today and tomorrow. It’s a great opportunity for all of us to pitch in and help those in need. And if you’re still trying to figure out where to vote, early voting has wrapped up, but election day is just a day away! Make sure you know where to go to cast your ballot. Here’s hoping for a productive and safe day ahead!
