The Iron Truss Bridges
Benefit for the Joppa Bridge
and the Russell Fork Bridge
was a huge success and far
exceeded the expectations of
the Burnet County Historical
Commission (BCHC).
The commission wishes to
thank everyone for coming to
the fish fry on Sept. 17, pur-
chasing books and T-shirts,
and for their generous dona-
tions. They also wish to thank
all their volunteers and those
who donated baked goods for
the auction. Also big thanks go
to author Rachel Bryson who
donated her books to the com-
mission to sell.
The BCHC is working to
place Texas Historical
Markers at the entrance to
each bridge and to have both
labeled as "National
Treasures" by the State of
Texas and to place both on the
"National Register of Historic
Places". If anyone would like
to purchase T-Shirts or books,
there are still some available
and maybe ordered on the
Burnet County Historical
Commission website:

If anyone would like to
make a donation please con-
tact any member of the Burnet
County Historical
Commission. For more infor-
mation call Lela at 512-585-

Weather Woes
Fall begins tomorrow,
Sept. 22, and we should be
having mild weather. Not so!
Our August was wet and cool,
and this month has been dry
and hot! The long-range fore-
cast gives us a good chance for
rain this coming weekend, and
if the forecast is correct, we'll
see a slow cooldown next
week.
That's all the news for
this week. If you have infor-
mation for this column please
email marcimaster-
son@gmail.com. Your dead-
line is always Saturday.
