Winners are selected based on their personal development, leadership and achievement in 4-H projects, and on activities and contributions made to the 4-H program.

Three people were taken to Schleicher County Medical Saturday night following a traffic accident south of Eldorado involving a Schleicher County Sheriff’s Department patrol car and a 2002 Chevrolet pickup. All three individuals were treated and released.

Drivers are going to start seeing a lot of orange barrels and workers on a 52-mile stretch of US 277 from San Angelo to Sonora. Those orange barrels and workers typically mean construction and delays for drivers. This case is no exception. Three projects, that will appear seamless to the public, but were awarded to two separate contactors, will add passing lanes throughout the corridor.
