Quencher’s is Now Open to Serve Stamford BY CALLIE METLER-SMITH Stamford welcomed a new business on Christmas in the form of Quencher’s Liquor, Beer, and Wine. The business, which is owned by Randy and Mary Denson, was moved from its location in Rotan where it has been open for the past 4 years, to its current location at 1106 N. Swenson. The Densons are excited about having Quencher’s be part of the Stamford community and will be involved in local events, such as the Gary Wimberly Scholarship Dance and sponsoring events at the Texas Cowboy Reunion. The store will be manned by Sabrina McIlwain, Cindy
Davis, and Rose Hill and will be open Monday – Saturday 10am – 9pm. Among their selection is Gluten Free Beer, Speciality Craft Beers, mixes, mini shots, Sweet and Sour, Premixed margaritas, Tonic, and Vermouth. They even have little patron bottles. Quencher’s can also special order things they don’t carry in their store. Depending on where they order it from, it can take between a week and two weeks to get it in. Quencher’s wants to let customers know about their Loyalty Rewards Plan. Customers are awarded points with each purchase and when 10 points are accumulated, they can be used for a 10% discount
Randy and Mary Denson and Sabrina McIlwain on your next purchase. Quencher’s also offers a 10% discount on your birthday, and a 10% discount everyday with a military ID. They accept
credit, debit, checks and cash. Quencher’s also has a Facebook page, so check them out!
2018 Tri Area Livestock Show On Saturday, January 6, 2018, the Tri-Area Livestock Show will resume its annual tradition of joining FFA and 4-H members from Lueders-Avoca, Paint Creek, and Stamford schools in exhibition of their livestock projects.

Bigbee Steps into Editor Position My name is Allison Bigbee. I am the new editor here at the Stamford American. My family and I moved to Stamford during my second grade year in elementary school. I was nervous at first about the change and having to make new friends, but with my outgoing personality it didn’t take long to fit in. I graduated from Stamford High School in 2007 and moved to Abilene to try something new. In 2013 my son Cooper was born, and I decided to come home to be with my family since I now had a new little one, who is now wild and 4 years old. He keeps me on my toes but definitely warms my heart. My parents are Randy and Vicki Riley. I have an older brother Jacob of Stephenville, two older sisters, Amber who lives in Early, Ashley who lives with her family in Sweetwater and also a younger sister, April of Coleman. I never would have guessed that I would be working with the newspaper or even have the chance but when I saw the position come up with the Stamford American I went for it. I decided I needed something different and wanted to try something I’ve never done. Thankfully I was given the opportunity and couldn’t be more thrilled to join the team and get more involved in the community.
