Ty's Take
The Houston Educational Foundation's got their fundraiser locked in for the 29th out at the 'BARn, and if you've been around here long enough you know what that means: a chance to put some money behind the kids who'll be running this county twenty years from now. Schools out in country like ours don't get fat budgets handed down from Jefferson City, so outfits like HEF end up being the difference between a kid getting to go on that field trip or staying behind. August weather ought to cooperate, the 'BARn's a good draw, and there's no shortage of folks in Texas County who remember exactly why these fundraisers matter when their own kids were sitting in those classrooms.
