WANDERING WEST OF THE BRAZOS By TEENA MAENZA It was nice to have beautiful weather last weekend. Seems as though thats been a rarity of late. Fortunately, it came at the right time to contribute to the success of the Brazoria Heritage Day Celebration. Hundreds of people were on hand for the parade and all the events at the Brazoria Civic Center. There were several activities to keep kids interested - touching the baby alligators, playing with the tortoises, riding ponies, learning how to rope. FARMERS MARKET The West Columbia Chamber of Commerce kicks off the third season of its Farmers Market this weekend. The event continues to attract vendors and shoppers every Saturday morning. TIME CHANGE I was blindsided when I heard someone on television mention the time changing this weekend. Already? But it does, and I guess Ive got no choice but to lose that extra hour of sleep Sunday morning - just dont expect me to do it willingly or without long diatribes on the subject. At least most of the schools are out for Spring Break next weekend, so the kiddos have a chance to adjust before having to get up early for school. BATTLE ON THE BERNARD The Battle on the Bernard Tug of War is coming up in a couple of weeks. Teams from throughout the area are invited to line up for a tug of war across the San Bernard River under the Sportsman Span Bridge in Churchill. The event was held last year in August and was a lot of fun, but the weather was a little stifling. I hope it is well-attended in its new time slot March 27.
