These kids worked so hard on the 6th June with their dog wash on Lincoln Avenue and they were able to donate an amazing $1170 to Bluebonnet Casa here in Mason, TX.
This could not have been possible without the generous support of our amazing community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and donated.
Mason County Judge Jerry Bearden was notified late last week that Mason County has been selected for a Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP) grant to fund the restoration of the Mason County Courthouse. The THCPP conveyed to Judge Bearden that competition during this round of funding was rigorous. Of the twenty-one applicants, the commissioners selected three major construction projects, two emergency projects, and four planning projects.
The restoration and benefits of native grasses
When German settlers first came to Mason County in the mid-1800s, they found a paradise of grasslands, with scattered oaks and other beneficial hardwoods. The tallgrass prairie was perfect for cattle, and ranches soon thrived.
There are over a hundred species of grasses native to Mason County, as well as a few dozen more that have been introduced from elsewhere.
It is summer now, and life in Mason is flowing along pretty good. Last week the County found out that the Texas Historical Commission would be fully funding the grant to restore the Courthouse! After many years of efforts to secure this grant and restore this grand building, when the Judge called me to let me know he sounded like a little boy excited about a pile of birthday presents, not really sure what was inside but thrilled with the possibilities.
The Brownwood Area Fellowship of Christian Athletes is honored to recognize Mason High School coach Denis Cano as the Area Huddle Leader of the Year for the 2019-2020 school year. Cano was selected from more than 30 FCA huddle leaders in the area.
Cano has served as Mason’s FCA huddle leader for the past three years.
Lately it seems that most of Texas would like to get back to “business as usual” even with the concerns that there are more cases of Covid-19 being reported throughout the State. In Mason we have not seen any new cases for about three weeks, but it is still a good idea to continue wearing face masks and keeping a reasonable distance from others as you go about shopping, church services, getting the mail and many other situations.

This current Memorial Day period has been especially moving for our Family as we approach the one- year anniversary of our Father’s passing. Stanley Moerner Grote passed away on June 7th 2019 at the wonderful age of ninety-two years. The first anniversary of that date will be here very soon.

To the class of 2020...this is definitely not the graduation that we have always pictured; however, because we have grown up in the community of Mason, we have plenty of memories that can make up for this. Most kids don’t have the chance to grow up in a town like this.
Thank you all for gathering tonight to celebrate my classmates and I, especially under the circumstances that we are in. I think I can speak for every one of my classmates by saying that we would not be wearing these gowns and riding in this parade if it weren’t for every single one of you all’s support.
