Hey there! So, yesterday was quite a mix of news here in Abilene. On a serious note, a tragic incident unfolded over the weekend that has everyone talking. Anthony Emilio Sanchez, a 35-year-old local man, was arrested and charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of his wife. That’s a heavy situation for our community, and my thoughts go out to everyone affected by this.
On a brighter note, the Abilene Zoo is gearing up for its annual Christmas Celebration, which starts tomorrow! They’ll be transforming the zoo into a winter wonderland filled with holiday cheer from December 12 through the 23. It sounds like a perfect way to get into the festive spirit, especially for families looking to create some wonderful memories together. If you haven’t made plans yet, it might be worth checking out!
In other news, a new selfie museum is opening in town, thanks to a Dyess retiree looking to give us all a fun backdrop for our next social media post. How cool is that? It’s such a creative idea, and I can already imagine folks flocking there to snap some great pics. Plus, Texas State Technical College just launched a new plumbing program to meet the growing demand for skilled workers in the area, which is awesome for those looking to get into a trade.
And just a quick note outside of Abilene, Breckenridge has declared a state of emergency due to water line issues, which has been affecting their community. It’s a reminder of how important our local resources are. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they get everything sorted out quickly!

Hey there! So, yesterday in Abilene was quite eventful on a few fronts. First off, we had a fresh face entering the political scene: Joshua Ohlemacher. This local dad of six, who juggles a full-time job and has no prior political experience, announced his campaign for office. What sparked this decision? Well, he was inspired by a Sunday sermon! It’s always refreshing to see someone so invested in their community, especially when they’re balancing so much already. It’ll be interesting to see how his journey unfolds as he aims to represent the voices of families like his own.
