EDITOR'S NOTE Dear Readers, This month we bring you a variety of features with a special focus on local leaders and candidates to get you ready for the 2024 election cycle. Apples to Apples sheds light on our three Precinct 3 Constable candidates, Bert Witcher, Deke Pierce, and Kevin Wilkie, while 10 Questions features a Q&A with District 5 Councilman Kevin Pitts. County Commissioner Valerie Covey also took time to discuss projects aimed at tackling transportation and mental health challenges that have increased as a result of Williamson County’s growth. As you prepare to head to the polls this year, check out Worth the Drive to learn about planning your next trip to a famed hub of political activity – the Texas capitol. You can also flip to Business Briefs to discover all the latest establishments being added to Georgetown’s business scene. Plus, we turned to several current, local businesses in our Ask the Expert columns to learn how to choose the right window treatments and accessory structures for your home, as well as how to know when it’s the right time to move into a senior living community. Longhorn lovers can also look forward to What Makes Texas, Texas, which features the iconic Texas animal. On a similar pet topic, congratulations to Furrbaby Food Pantry on its recent grand opening! It was wonderful to see the community come together to support an organization that has stepped up to help pet owners in need. That kind of love and compassion make the month of February truly special. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and memorable Valentine’s Day!
