Get in gear for spring (and, as it usually happens in Texas, a closely-following summer) with this week's Hunt County Shopper, where you can get connected to local events, take a trip back in Hunt County's history and, as always, find a smattering of great bargains.
On our front page story, as well as page 8, we've featured Ford's Drive One 4 Ur School, an event that benefits Caddo Mills ISD. On April 14th, from 9am to 4pm on the Caddo Mills High School Stadium, a lineup of new Ford cars will be available for test drives. For each car test-driven, $20 will be donated to Caddo Mills ISD - up to $6,000! Even if you don't have a drivers license, you'll still be able to have a good time. There will be concessions, live bands, entertainment, face-painting, antique Fords on display, goodie bags, drawings for multiple prizes, and on-site rock chip repair from Richardson Auto Glass at a discounted price. So get out of the house this Saturday, connect with your neighbors, and help make your community a better place! Bet you never thought you'd accomplish all that by driving a Ford.
Turn to page 6 of this week's Shopper, and you'll take a trip back in time to the foundation of Hunt County itself, on April 11th, 1846. Perhaps one of the most interesting facets of Hunt County's history is that it has played host to seven different courthouses, each in Greenville, the County's seat. The incarnations of the County Courthouse have been varied, beginning as a log building and graduating to the building that still stands today, which was built in 1929. In the words of Judge T.J. Oneal on the day of its dedication, it was "The most beautiful and best court house in this great state."
With warmer weather also comes garage sale bargains, and you'll find multiple ones in Greenville, Caddo Mills, Weiland and Campbell in this week's paper. Visit one, or stop by them all, and turn another person's trash into your treasure!
