Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 14, 2025 for the first annual Care Lunker Classic to be held at Hubbard Creek Reservoir in Breckenridge, Texas. The charity bass tournament sponsored by Goodnight Steakhouse and Hereford Motel, will be designed as an open 5-fish team format for anglers. 

The Fort Griffin Fandangle Association announced this week that its ongoing capital campaign has reached a major milestone, with $150,000 raised toward its $300,000 goal.

The fundraising effort, launched to support a series of critical improvements to the historic Prairie Theater and its production facilities, has drawn wide support from local donors. Organizers expressed gratitude for the generosity shown so far and are now urging the community to help carry the campaign to the finish line.

Texas singer-songwriter Paul Cauthen will return to Albany this Friday, May 30, headlining a concert at the Aztec Theater. The show marks Cauthen’s third performance at the Aztec since 2023.
