 The month of December has flown by, hasn't it? Here, in Brackettville, we have had a wonderful time, enjoying this holiday season. As this month comes to a close, we want to inform you about some of the events that happened this year and some of the things we are looking forward to in the coming year.  Kinney County Frontier Christmas - Saturday, December 2, 2017 On Saturday, December 2, 2017, Kinney County held its annual Christmas celebration. It was a fun time for all, where vendors set up booths and displayed their wares. There were lots of great gift ideas for those shopping for Christmas and lots of great food. We look forward to this event every year. This year, SISCA donated bags filled with candy and fruit. They were handed out along with the toys that were given to the children of Brackettville by the volunteer fire department. A big Thank You to Ms. Beverly A. Kelly for donating the paper bags and candy. Monthly Meeting and Christmas Dinner - Saturday, December 16, 2017 On December 16, several members gathered for our regular meeting and to celebrate the holiday season by having a Christmas dinner together. We are so happy that we were able to gather and fellowship before the end of the year. The Year in Review  January 2017 January started with us getting back in motion.
