As the fireworks exploded high in the sky late on July 4, Holly Gilmore of Fredonia was somewhat panicked. Her 20-year old quarter horse, Chapa, was choking, and she struggled to get in touch with a veterinarian as the skies turned increasingly dark on the holiday night. Gilmore’s normal veterinarian was out of town on vacation.
Over the course of five months, some in cool weather and some in very hot weather, members of the Llano Alliance for Drug Intervention (LADI) worked the concession stand at the John L. Kuykendall Arena and Event Center. Each time they worked there was cleaning to do to make the area appropriate for serving food and drinks.
You’ll be excused if keeping up with the coaching changes in Llano is a bit difficult. My paperwork looks like a baseball scorebook when a 12-12 game is in the 15th inning.

Not much hooks one’s interest in gardening more quickly than a colorful butterfly in flight. And it’s easy to attract those butterflies to your yard by planting a few of their favorite flowers. The Llano County Master Gardeners have created a complete habitat that entices a fascinating array of winged diners in the Depot Garden on Bessemer Street in Llano. Harriet Myrick, a delightful Llano artist, has adorned the garden with her beautiful Butterfly Garden totem design, which welcomes each ...
He is known throughout Fairytale land, he blew down two of the Three Little Pigs homes, he was accused of eating sheep by the boy that cried wolf, and had the audacity of eating Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. Now there is a class action lawsuit against him and the trial was held in a makeshift courtroom in Llano, located in the Llano Junior High Auditorium.
Lots of activities were on the schedule throughout the county over the past week. These are just a few.
KINGSLAND — If TxDOT listens to what Kingsland residents said, June 27 — and agrees with what they said — the proposed work on three stretches of RM 1431 in their community won’t happen. What did receive positive applause was a recommendation that TxDOT spend $15-million on turning Hwy. 29 from 1431 into Llano into a Super Two.
After meeting every week for the past two months and a year in the planning, July 1 was the day for the annual Llano Rock `N Riverfest, jet ski races and a fireworks show touted as the best in the Texas Hill Country. Vendors started setting up on Friday evening, teams for the BBQ cook-off began cooking their entries -- each one said they would take home the first-place prize, but their talk would have to wait until Saturday afternoon at 6 p.m.
