Dear Editor, On Thursday, December 12, 2024, at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum, the Tri-City Empowerment Council sponsored a Christmas Celebration in honor of the Foster/Adopt Families TARE. This celebration was to recognize foster parents and adopt families for all of the selfless support that they give the children in their homes. It was also to spread hope and love to the foster children. The evening began with tours of the museum and continued with joy and festive live music played by the Wildcat Christmas Ensemble and a beautiful skit by Debbie Scott and Rogers Wardy that told the meaning of Christmas. Our night in Cuero ended with a ride through Cuero's Lighted Park with hot chocolate. 12/26/2024 03:33 PM
