Greeting my fellow Cueroites: The 53rd Turkeyfest is in the books, Paycheck was victorious this year giving Worthington bragging rights for the next year.
Many new friends and memories were made in a short period of time; the Worthington Minnesota delegation was 45 strong this year. I would like to give another huge shout out to the Turkeyfest Association Board, Edward Oates, the current President and the entire board do an amazing job on putting together a firstclass event. Planning for next year is already underway, thank you sir.
On Oct. 7, the Mayor’s Youth Council participated in the first field trip of the year. Twelve members toured the Cuero waste treatment plant to learn how city infrastructure works. Most folks take utilities for granted. Where does wastewater go when you flush your toilet, wash your clothes, take a shower, wash dishes? The group was shown the wastewater as it came in the plant, went through the cleaning process and discharged clean and clear into Gohlke Creek, which flows to the Guadalupe River. The group was shown the documentation. Job isn’t done until the paperwork is done — pardon the pun — which is paramount in reporting to the Texas Commission on Environmental Services.
