    Jake Waldner stood behind a table full of delicious-looking homemade baked goods and homegrown vegetables Saturday morning at the first-of-the-season Saturday Market on Town Square.

  • Letter to the Editor: Beaver Creek Park is a Hill County gem

    Updated Jul 11, 2016

    Editor: We were at Beaver Creek Park in June for our biannual Patera reunion at the Railroad Pagers campground. We arrived a day early so we had time to hike to some of the other camp sites and take a drive through others.

    George Ferguson|Updated Jul 11, 2016
