Set the Date for Fun & a Great Cause!
The Cara Young Fish for Life began in 2010 as a fishing tournament to help raise funds for Cook Children’s and Cystic Fibrosis in honor and memory of Cara Young, an amazing young lady who touched many lives. At the young age of 23, Cara lost her battle with cystic fibrosis. Cara spent many weeks at Cook Children’s during her life and the care she received was amazing. In order to give something back to the medical center we decided to establish an annual bass fishing tournament.
Again this year, in addition to the fishing tournament there will be a separate event of catered food, a silent auction and some really great “live” music to be held on October 29th, 2016 at the beautiful Botanic Gardens in Fort Worth.
The fishing tournament will be held on September 18th, 2016 with the weigh-in, kids fishing tournament and other festivities to be held at Cabela’s Sporting Goods Store, Fort Worth location.

Might better check this place out!
From Ft Worth City Magazine…Is Thurber Mingus Really Where the West Begins?
Named after two West Texas ghost towns, the Trinity River hideaway Thurber Mingus is billed as a border town-style cantina with a Tex-Mex inspired menu. Taking over the space formerly known as Froggy’s Boat House, executive owner and chef Coby Baumann opened his West Texas-inspired cantina just over a year ago. The dive bar underwent a complete renovation and now has a more polished, rustic yet modern feel. Froggy’s sand volleyball lots have been replaced with a spacious, multi-level patio area complete with a music stage and garden bar.

Demand for Texas homes higher than ever before
A small number is making big news for Texas real estate. In the first quarter of 2016, the inventory of homes statewide hit an all-time low at 2.8 months.
That means if no more houses were listed for sale in Texas, it would take less than three months to deplete the supply of homes on the market now. Why does this matter? Historically low inventory means homes are in demand now more than ever.
For comparison, the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University estimates that a monthly housing inventory between 6.0 and 6.5 months is balanced between supply and demand … and Texas was at less than half that number in the first quarter of 2016.
For more first-quarter stats, including median home prices and days on market, check out the Texas Quarterly Housing Report, released today by the Texas Association of REALTORS®. The report includes statewide data and data for 25 local markets.

Too Good Not to Post!
Why a 180-year-old event from Texas history remains relevant today
In Lehman’s Terms
We do things a little different in Texas … we even have our own holidays. One such occasion was the discussion topic on my favorite drive-time radio talk show last Thursday. You may recognize April 21 as San Jacinto Day, the official state holiday commemorating the final battle of the Texas Revolution in 1836-the battle that secured the state’s independence from Mexico.
I was struck by one caller who said, “As a newcomer to Texas, I really cannot understand all the media attention given to this 18-minute battle. I have lived in seven other states and they don’t do this type of thing.”
That last statement got my attention because she’s right-other states don’t recognize their battles like Texas does. But that’s because other states don’t have the history of fighting for independence that makes Texas unique.
So, why should we continue to commemorate this event from 180 years ago? Here’s my take-in “Lehman’s” terms-on the relevance of San Jacinto Day today: It’s not just a day to celebrate a victory in battle … it’s a day to celebrate Texas values.
It’s these values that entice hundreds of people to move to Texas every day. Corporations relocate because they like our business-friendly environment and stable tax structure. New residents appreciate that Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, real estate transfer tax, or tax on professional services, and homebuyers move here because the cost of owning a home remains low.
Texans have always had a can-do spirit that rivals most states and even other countries, and many people see the Battle of San Jacinto as the symbol of this spirit. A few hundred ragtag volunteers took only minutes to defeat one of the largest and most powerful armies in the world. Texas was born from the battle cries “Remember the Alamo” and “Remember Goliad” made famous at this fight.
For the last 180 years, elected officials in Texas have maintained that San Jacinto spirit and determination when addressing the needs of our growing and ever-changing state. In fact, visitors to the Texas Capitol in Austin see firsthand that the chambers of the Texas Senate and House of Representatives are dominated by historic tributes to the Battle of San Jacinto.
The original 1836 San Jacinto battle flag hangs directly behind the speaker’s podium in the House chamber when the legislature is in session. (A replica takes its place between sessions to help preserve the flag.) And the artist Henry Arthur McArdle’s famous 1895 painting “Battle of San Jacinto” (pictured here courtesy of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission) is prominently displayed in the Senate chamber. Both historic treasures serve as daily reminders to current lawmakers of the important place they have in history.
Although San Jacinto Day has passed this year, we don’t have to wait until 2017 to commemorate the occasion. We can honor our revolutionary heroes by maintaining the Texas spirit and taking pride in our state’s reputation for independence every day.
