As our local hospital administrator, I have the privilege of visiting with members of our community during some of their most joyous moments. And some of their most painful. Unfortunately, some of the more difficult moments have come from seeing our elderly patients scared and uncertain about the next steps in their healing and recovery process because they don’t have the insurance coverage they need for what their doctor recommends.

Not long ago I was listening to a preacher on television from a large church in a large city. He was an interim pastor as this church was in the process of calling a new person to fulfill their pulpit.

The Cuero Development Corporation (CDC) recently announced the latest addition to its board, Brad Kocurek.

In 1920, a Fair Association was formed and by 1922 they named their fair, “The Little World’s Fair”. It operated for 27 years except during the World War I and World War II years.

This will be the 11th year that the Hobbs family of Cuero dresses up in some amazing costumes for Halloween. And according to Bethany Hobbs, her husband Jeff really didn’t have a choice in the matter, that is, if he wanted her to say yes to his proposal in 2007.

Have you ever uttered the words, “I feel like I’ve walked all over this town.” Well, if you’re Cuero residents, John and Jennifer Hudgeons, you’d be correct, literally. Recently, the two retired school teachers decided it might be fun and interesting to walk every block in the City of Cuero, and they turned what some might see as a “crazy idea,” into reality, and with it, they gained a whole new love and respect for the town they’ve lived in most of their lives.
