Rotary club announces golf winners from their April 2022 tournament.

GUN BARREL CITY–At the April 26 meeting, residents of Gale Drive and Jeffery Circle came to speak during the public hearing to rezone lots 28 and 29 in the Lambs Retreat subdivision physically located at 102 Jeffery Circle. This rezone would change the two lots from Single Family Detached Residential District (R-4) to General Business District (B-2). Ten residents spoke against the action as well as the developer for the Pier 334 Development Steven Haynes of YNS Services. 

One of many Texas themed quilts were displayed during the Gun Barrel City Quilters Guild show held April 29 and 30 at the CR Legacy Event Center. This quilt took home the award for First Place Home Machine. It is entitled Texas Cabins and was made and quilted by Carol Fogleman.
