“It takes a village”
“It takes a village”
EPARTMENT I’m sure you have heard the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.” It also takes a village to protect our children. Weimar is our village, and the children of Weimar are our children. January was National Human Traf- ficking Awareness Month. In a proactive effort to combat human trafficking, the Weimar Police Department urges the commu- nity to join the fight against this heinous crime. Weimar PD is committed to educating our citizens with current statistics that magnify the gravity of this issue. 01/31/2024 23:00

Help America Vote Day
Help America Vote Day 2024: Help America Vote Day is a day of action established by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to encourage people across the U.S. to get involved in the electoral process by signing up to be a poll worker and an opportunity to share information on how to register and cast a ballot. By encouraging more people to become poll workers in their communities, Help America Vote Day is addressing the critical shortage of poll workers, strengthening our republic, inspiring greater civic engagement and volunteerism, and helping to ensure election offices have the staff they need throughout 2024. 01/31/2024 23:00

Animal Footprints in Fayette
Animal Footprints in Fayette
Our Footprints articles are written by local historians who are also volunteer members of the Fayette County Historical Commission. In the previous article, it was mentioned that the Fayette County Record had been printing the Footprints articles for over 20 years. We’d just like to mention that the articles have also appeared in many other local papers, including The Banner Press, Flatonia Argus, Schulenburg Sticker, and Weimar Mercury, and even occasionally mentioned on the local radio stations. Not only do all of your local papers support us by publishing these articles, they are also always willing to include news articles and public service announcements for the Historical Commission as well as others to help keep our Fayette County history alive. 01/31/2024 23:00
