City of Columbus receives Governor’s Proclamation
City of Columbus receives Governor’s Proclamation
COLUMBUS – The Columbus Chamber of Commerce received a proclamation from Governor Greg Abbott in recognition of Columbus’ upcoming Bicentennial Celebration, which marks 200 years of the city’s existence. The proclamation reads in part: “A town as old as Texas herself, Columbus has had a frontrow seat to an entire history. Two hundred years ago, settlers took up the ‘Gone to Texas’ banner and build a community that would stand the test of time … From General Houston’s base camp in the Revolution to the legendary cattle drives of a bygone saga, the town has witness many iconic moments and has epitomized both the noble pioneering spirit and the fierce independence that have come to define our people…The same values and valor that enabled Columbus to thrive in the age of westward expansion have indeed survived well into the new millennium … As you reflect upon your proud past and look toward and even brighter tomorrow, I hope that you will rededicate yourselves to the values and traditions that built your city ...” 01/25/2023 12:00 AM

Cards wash cars in memory of baseball superfan, guardian angel
The Cards’ varsity baseball team will officially have a new yearly tradition after they have their second annual car wash fundraiser on Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Country Fresh Cleaners at 10 am. Last year marked their first iteration of the event which helped them afford important equipment and team gear.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Today I attended the unearthing of the time capsule buried in 1973 during Columbus’ sesquicentennial celebration. Absolutely beautiful day; perfect conditions. When the capsule was buried, I was a Columbus Elementary School third-grader. Today at the dig up and opening, it was wonderful to reminisce with classmates and so many others who were at the 1973 burial ceremony and to watch the removal of the contents by the former sixthgraders. I felt transported back in time by it all, and I can’t have been the only one who felt that way. On my drive back to Houston, I replayed the afternoon in my mind, smiling the whole way and gratefully realizing that, even if just for an afternoon, it seems you CAN go home again. 01/18/2023 12:00 AM
