YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
NICOLE LESSIN [email protected] Last Saturday, about a hundred people showed up for a pop-up market on the lawn of Old Taylor High, to buy fresh eggs, spray-paint art, gourmet dog treats, handmade earrings and much more. While the offerings may sound fairly standard, most of the entrepreneurs who created, procured and sold the wares haven’t even finished elementary school yet. 03/01/2023 08:29 AM

Adam Orgain, Hutto’s first settler, honored
HUTTO – In 1854, a lone 17-year-old braved harsh winters, grew his own food and protected the land and cattle belonging to his owner. Adam Orgain was a slave, and a vital, but almost unrecognized, part of Hutto’s history. Now, the city is telling his story with the official naming of Adam Orgain Park, a 65-acre recreational area adjacent to the Brushy Creek Amphitheater at 1001 CR 137. 03/01/2023 08:29 AM
