Fright Night

28 Oct 2008 11:53:27 am GMT -5:00

Fright Night (on the Square and Elsewhere) is returning this year--it's one of the most popular and successful things we do. Kids are encouraged to trick-or-treat around the square (and a few places off the square) for a bagful of Halloween treats. Officially, the event is from 5-6pm, though traditionally some start earlier. Most businesses on the square will be offering treats, but trick-or-treaters will miss out if they don't go by: Nana & Moni's Little Black Bag (on 2nd St, across from Moore Than Medicine) Swisher Electric Coop Swisher Memorial Hospital (Assisted Living area) Tulia Family Chiropractic (across from the Post Office) City Hall--Alley Entrance Happy Trick-or-Treating!!

Retire in Tulia?

That's right! The Texas Department of Agriculture just recognized Tulia as a Go Texan Certified Retirement Community. A lot of folks are retiring younger and healthier than ever before, and a lot are moving to Texas. Retirees spend an average of $36k/year and pay $3k in state and local taxes. They create a dependable full- and part-time workforce, and make excellent volunteers. From the retirees perspective, property in Tulia/Swisher County is affordable, a 45 minute drive is nothing, and the clean air and safe atmosphere are often quite different from what they have been experiencing. Now understand, this has nothing to do with a Retirement "Center"--that is, a building of some sort. We are merely marketing the appeal of Tulia as a place to live. Many people have discovered it already....

On Fridays they all wear their "Howdy from Tulia" T-Shirts they bought from the Chamber. A couple of weeks ago, we rounded up as many as we could get in one place and got a picture!...
