Are you ready to be busy for the next week or two? Lots of community events planned and certainly you will find something exciting to do when you browse the calendar. Check out the Yard Sale/Fish Fry info on April 21. Deadline to get involved is today, so you might want to hurry. Do you have a community event to add to the calendar? Tell me about it.

 

While there are lots of opportunities to eat out in the coming weeks, take an evening and try this Tex-Mex Meatloaf at home. Remember to e-mail me one of your recipes to share with fellow All About Brownsville readers.

 

I know you have noticed all the blue ribbons around town signifying April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. In observance of this, the Carl Perkins Center is asking you to wear blue on Monday, April 16, and to join them on the courthouse lawn at 5:15 p.m., for the annual Candlelight Vigil. Wondering what you have blue to wear? For a $15 donation to the center, you will receive a blue t-shirt with the Wear Blue logo. Call the center for details, 772-8378. You can also join them Saturday night, April 14, for the annual Crawfish Boil at the Country Club (more details below).

 

Okay, what has happened to the Kreme Kastle pig? Have you noticed that it is gone? I hope this local landmark is soon a part of our county museum. Or, better yet, is off being refurbished and will soon be back on its original perch.
