Featured homes on the tour will be Robert and Diane Hammond, 510 W. Pecan Street; Greg Hutson and his mother, Margaret, #1 Woodland Creek Road; Dr. and Mrs. Ryan Laws, 135 Turtle Creek Road; Stephen and Deanne Vines, 1000 Garlington and Flying Horse RV Ranch, 4701 Farm-to-Market Road 1125, where refreshments will be served. Proceeds got to the scholarship fund.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
