Tom and Diane Supak of Fayetteville polished their 1923 Ford Model T and joined other Ford Model T enthusiasts for the 49th annual “Texas T Party” sponsored by the Space City T’s of Houston. The 75 antique cars, produced between 1911-1927, presented quite a picturesque sight as they traveled to points of interest along the country roads of Fayette and adjoining counties. Tom and Diane hosted a special guest, Charlotte X (pictured above with Diane), who claims to be the original owner of their vehicle. Tom was overheard saying Charlotte didn’t talk much but her constant rattling was a bit disturbing.

A s part of the America 250 activities in Fayette County this year, the county’s Semiquincentennial Committee (headed up by Larry Jackson) embarked on an ambitious project to distribute 250 Liberty Trees. Thanks to an army of generous donors and volunteers, these trees were made free (and at no cost to taxpayers) – available to anyone who signed up for them. The trees were distributed at the recycling center on two weekends earlier this month, along with fencing, t-posts, a bag of mulch and a beautiful metal medallion designating the trees as Liberty Trees. We asked readers to send us pictures of their trees. Here’s some images of this lasting legacy project. Email us a photo of where you planted your Liberty Tree to jeff@fayettecountyrecord.com. We’ve love to share it in the newspaper.

On Wednesday, Sept. 30, the Hebler family of Cody, Kasey, Kambri, and Cayson generously donated a Little Library to the Fayette Public Library. Cody Hebler and his company, Texas Elite Fabrication LLC, built and beautifully painted the Little Library. This thoughtful donation will give community members another opportunity to share books, discover new stories, and build a love of reading. The Fayette Public Library staff sincerely appreciates the Hebler family and Texas Elite Fabrication LLC for their generosity and for helping support literacy and the library’s mission in our community.
