Where did that come from? Monday’s weather episode really packed a punch. I’m so glad no serious injuries resulted from the straight line winds. Lots of property damage, though. It’s sad to see a lot of the old trees down. See storm pictures posted at www.BrownsvilleRadio.com.

This coming week is filled with activities and events. Check the calendar closely. You want won’t to miss anything. We have a new author in town, too. Check out Wednesday’s book signing.

Congratulations to the Class of 2008 and all the scholarship recipients. Good job!
