| Just in time for Jubilee 2010! No! Your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you last Sunday evening if all of a sudden you realized the “V” on Turtleback Mountain was being transformed from a dull white to a bright white. Buddy and Michael Davis, Efrain Hinojos, and Lyndon McDonald gave new life to the “V”. A big thanks to the McVay family for allowing us to paint the “V”. And, a big thanks to Buddy and Nati Davis of West Texas Feed for donating the 350 pounds of lime to do the job with. (Photo by Lyndon McDonald) |
- Are you ready! It’s almost here! Jubilee 2010 promises to be the best yet. Make your plans now to be in Van Horn next weekend, June 18, 19 and 20.
This year’s event promises to provide millions of memories to take back home with you.
Through the efforts of a lot of people and venues, Jubilee 2010 has received wide publicity and appears to have the making of one giant good time for all.
Visit the website at vanhornjubilee.com to get up to the minute happenings. The schedule of activities is pretty much set and is featured on Page 4 of this issue. What we need now is for you and your family to attend.
From the e-mails we have received, we’re seeing names that we haven’t heard of and names of lots of folks we haven’t heard from in many years.
What that tells us is “We should be prepared for a lot of visitors and guests in Van Horn next week.”
Locally, they city and county have been working diligently to get the town cleaned up as well as the cemetery. We would urge you to do your part to help with the cleanup effort so that, as a community, “We put our very best foot forward for our guests next weekend.”
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Jubilee 2010 Committee composed of Brenda Hinojos, Jannine Heath, Linda or Lyndon McDonald.
