Following the regular meetings of the H.J. Ehler American Legion Post 102, La Grange, and its Auxiliary on Wednesday March 8, members enjoyed delicious homemade stew cooked by J.R. Baca and Odis Pfeiffer, followed by anniversary cake provided by the Auxiliary celebrating the 104th birthday of the American Legion. Pictured are, from left, Richard Gray, First Vice Commander, Mary Gray, Adjutant, Andrew Kruppa, Odis Pfeiffer, Commander, James Bramblett, John D. Marburger, Judge Advocate, and Tommy Swearingen.

Here’s some photos from the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce’s 1st International Women’s Day Mixer held last Thursday. The slogan this year is #EmbraceEquity. Here are some photos of the festivities:

A Hallettsville native who today calls La Grange home, a popular polka band performer, the president of a club that’s dedicated to things most folks have never heard of before and a manager at the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center got named the 2023 Moulton Chamber Appreciation Award winner Sunday, March 3, when the group gathered at the Geier-Merrem American Legion Hall in Moulton for its 74th annual event.
