County considers purchasing tower clock

2 years ago By Megan Wehring

 

To commemorate the county’s 150th anniversary, the Pecos County Commissioner Court is looking to purchase a tower clock to be installed outside of the courthouse.

The 16-foot-tall Howard Replica Four Face post clock will have a black cast aluminum finish and gold accents. The required investment is $29,990, which includes delivery and installation but excludes any additional fees or permits.

The county would be responsible for the footer, electrical and hoist.

The report bases happiness on six categories, including gross domestic product, social support, life expectancy, generosity, perceptions of each country’s corruption levels, and the freedom for citizens to make their own life choices.

Roadrunners eat scorpions in the wild, but that wasn’t the case for Paisano Pete and Scotty. The rare crossing of a giant roadrunner and giant scorpion occurred earlier this month after a casual pit stop at the local Dairy Queen.
