Horton Classic Car Museum adding almost 20,000 sq. ft
One of the classic cars enthusiasts can see at the Horton Classic Car Museum in downtown Nocona once belonged to famous actress Sandra Bullock.
Now, the museum is currently undergoing a massive expansion, growing by nearly 19,000 square feet. The museum’s physical address is 115 W. Walnut Street as Nocona residents Pete and Barbara Horton offer a glimpse of their extensive collection in this public setting. Read the full story on these expansion plans in the Saturday Bowie News. Pictured – A slab has been poured for the new addition, located adjacent to the car museum in downtown Nocona.

Additional information on vendor space can be seen at the The V’s Facebook page.
The staff of the Montague County Veteran’s Service office will host a Veteran’s Day program at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the courthouse annex in Montague.
The public is invited to attend this program and visit the county veteran’s memorial on the courthouse square honoring those who served.
Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, so before you go to bed Saturday night move your clocks back one hour.
There have been efforts to get the time change thrown out, but it continues to be in governmental limbo.
What is the future of daylight saving time? On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. But it will not become law until the House of Representatives votes and the president signs off.
The Sunshine Protection Act, stalled in 2023. A group of senators reintroduced the bill again this year and it has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to review and it is stuck in committee.
This time change also is a good time to change out the batteries in your smoke alarms to be set for the next year.
