The Kids Kows & More, a public charitable organization, hosted an event for 225 elementary and grade school students on April 20 at the Pecos County Coliseum. Students from Monahans ISD, Balmoreha ISD, and Fort Stockton Chrisitan Academy learned about how agriculture impacts daily life at various stations. See photos and write-up in next week’s paper.
