A bit after 2 p.m. Friday a long train flew through Mexia and Groesbeck carrying car after car after car of military vehicles. One onlooker said, “where’s the war?” We didn’t have an answer, but it sure looked like something was going down. Does anyone else know? Is there a manufacturer sending these toward the coast to ship someplace? Maybe on their way to Camp Swift, or one of the bases down around San Antonio? If anyone knows, give us a heads up. We’re curious, too.

The annual Food For Families Drive received 34,544 pounds of non-perishable donations at Church on the Rock on Friday, Nov. 21, and donations are still rolling in. This total was slightly shy of the 37,000-pound goal, but with contributions still coming in at the time of tallying, the goal may yet be met.

The Mexia High School Robotics team placed fourth overall out of 25 teams and captured first place in the 3A/4A division, securing their return to the state championship.
