On Saturday, March 12, SpringsFest will celebrate the history of Comanche Springs and gather memories of this iconic Texas spring with an event at the historic Annie Riggs Museum, 301 Main St, from 1:30-5:30 pm. The celebration will also include a performance by Ken Baucham, who will be making his first appearance in Fort Stockton.

It was not just a regular Wednesday morning for some local second graders a week ago. From learning how to use a washboard to making arrowheads and even discovering which animals are native to West Texas, Fort Stockton ISD students had a full morning of watching history come to life at the Annie Riggs Museum on Texas Independence Day.

Sophomore duo Athena Gomez and Jaslyn Pacheco finished the Big Spring Invitational on March 4 with silver medals in hand. Fort Stockton head coach Victor Garcia explained that the pair have made significant strides through hard work since the beginning of the season and that they continue to strive to play at their best week in and week out.

“They’ve shown improvement at each and every tournament, only achieving better results than the last,” he said.
