Four students from Olney High School received first-division ratings at the UIL Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest on Monday, May 27, 2024. The competition was held at Hendrickson High in Pflugerville.
Ft. Belknap Pavilion County Commissioners approved funding this month to build a pavilion to protect Fort Belknap’s two cannons from the weather. Fort historian Jim Hammond proposed the plan two years ago, and asked the Commissioners to allow him to consult with Komatsu Architecture of Fort Worth to decide where on the 171-year-old site the pavilion should be sited. The new pavilion will cost $40,000 for the new structure, which will be architecturally compatible with the fort and will sit west of the cannons’ current location, Mr. Hammond said.
