Montague County Youth Fair still on schedule
As of Nov. 2 it appears the 2021 Montague County Youth Fair is still a go, but fair officials will be meeting in mid-November to discuss any possible changes to the date or its operation.
This discussion comes on the heels of some major shows, including the Jan. 15-Feb. 6 Fort Worth Stock Show, being cancelled. Texas’ other large stock shows in San Antonio and Houston, which take place in late February and March are still on the calendar.
AgriLife Extension Agent Justin Hansard said as of Monday the local show is a go.
“The sale committee has been approached about concerns on that many people being in one location, so I am not sure how we will handle it. This is a first for us. At some shows they are having one species in a ring at a time and limiting the audience. That may cause us to stretch out the show. We also will be looking at safety precautions that could be put into place,” explained Hansard.
On the afternoon of Sept. 18 the boil order for the City of Saint Jo’s water system was lifted. All the required testing following the water main break late last week have been conducted and approved.

A gun-toting, masked man walked into the Star Travel Center Saturday and while he didn’t ask for money or make threats, he was arrested for aggravated robbery and several other charges.
At 5:19 p.m. Sept. 14, Montague County Sheriff’s Deputy Chase Pelton was dispatched to the travel center located at 2606 Farm-to-Market Road 174. Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said on arrival Pelton found a man of that description wearing a fleece-line mask inside the Boots and Jackets store. He was carrying two guns in his waistband and a backpack.
