Got Snakes?
Posted November 7, 2012

Next time you see a poisonous snake in your yard, here's a tip for killing them without having to get too close. A WB resident says he uses "wasp & hornet spray" to disable rattlesnakes. He said he may use 1/2 can on one snake. After that, the snake is pretty disoriented and you can kill it with a shovel. The best part about this is that the "wasp & hornet spray" sprays a long distance, so you don't have to get too close to the snake.

The USDA did a study on brown snakes, and it came to a similar consludion.

Area Activities and Events
Posted March 22, 2012

Looking for something to do locally, or expecting visitors this summer? You might want to check out the Texas Getaway Vacation website. This relatively new site is focused on promoting tourism in Hill and Bosque counties.

There's' a Things to Do section with Water Activities, Shopping, Places to Visit, Historical Interest, and local Driving Tours. There's also a Calendar of Events box on the Home page with the upcoming events in our area. You're probably already aware of some of these, but there's a good chance you'll find something you didn't know about here.

If you're interested, email Tish Robinson or call her at 694-8231 and she will get a group together to work out a plan.
