The Artisan Market this weekend, June 28, was well attended, and Pet Adoptions of Cuero adopted out five rescue pets. Thank you to all the pet families. Please be considerate of your outdoor pets this summer, have fresh water and shade readily available, also remember when walking your pet on concrete or asphalt be mindful of surface temperatures.
I visited a 3D print shop booth at the Artisan Market, and the gentlemen educated me on 3D printing. I purchased a few items. A booth sponsored by the Cuero Independence School District gave away free children’s books. The early learning program, building better beginnings, one book at a time,focuses on ages 9 and 10, which are impressionable ages.
