We welcome spring 2021 with anticipation and hope. As we begin to emerge from a long period of upheaval, our greatest takeaways are:
- Together, it is easier to overcome challenges
- Staying current with LOCAL information is crucial for the community.
As a Community Magazine, we truly walk the talk when we say our focus is keeping LOCAL businesses and thousands of readers connected. Throughout 2020, we heavily promoted LOCAL businesses on our social media platforms to increase visibility and disseminate information, articles, coupons, etc., keeping our readers well informed.
And we continue to stay laser-focused on LOCAL!
This issue we are proud to CELEBRATE WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES!
These women, armed with strength and determination, have worked hard to sail through the tough times this year or have had the enterprise to see opportunities and launch new businesses. Hats off to them! Please look for the WOMEN OWNED logo on their ads and join me, as a WOMEN OWNED business myself, in honoring and supporting them!
Winner Winner!

Local artist, Timothy Conway, adorns our front cover with an oil painting entitled “Farmersville”. He paints primarily in oil and brings a focus to his subjects that allow the viewers to see more than the subjects that are taken from the context of everyday life. Tim enhances and highlights the essence of the subject and in so doing, touches our hearts, minds, and emotions with the eloquent stories he tells. Please read his impressive bio on page 8.
