Deck the Streets

Christmas banners will deck the streets of Brackettville and Fort Clark. These banners cost $125 each, including the hanging brackets. A special account has been established at the Bank and Trust for donations to purchase the banners, which can be used year after year. A list of all banner donors will appear in local papers periodically throughout the holiday season. Donations can be made in the name of any organization, family, individual, or in memory of a loved one. Time is of the essence, since the holiday season is close at hand!
