What makes it so special? People. Not gifts, decorations or costumes, but people. Friends, neighbors, family and family by choice who gather to celebrate all sorts of holidays from Diwali, Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's.
Let us create a safe place for our kids to trick-or-treat, shower respect on our veterans, give thanks for our nation, love for those who came before us and the freedom to celebrate all, or none, of these.
This issue features a fun day trip destination, places to celebrate Veterans’ Day in our community, holiday-worthy appetizer recipes from your neighbors, how to prepare your home for the cold winter weather forecasted in the Farmer’s Almanac and two profiles: one of Mr. Bellville himself and the other for the brave and giving volunteer firefighters who keep Austin County safe.
Happy Holiday Wishes!

I have fond memories and cherished photos of taking my son, Max, to pick out a pumpkin each year.
