On this morning’s edition of Talk of the Town, we took a look at everything happening across Brownfield and Terry County as we kicked off another busy week in our community. We highlighted upcoming local events, community activities, and opportunities for residents to get involved throughout the area.
We also explored the various National Days being celebrated this week, sharing some fun facts and interesting observances from June 22 through June 26. In addition, we took a trip back in time with our popular “This Day in History” segment, discussing significant events that helped shape our nation and world.
As always, Talk of the Town is your source for local information, community news, history, and a little fun to start your day. Thank you to everyone who tuned in on Facebook Live, listened through the TownTalk App, or streamed online.
