The Gorman Lady Panthers aren’t going to be able to sneak up on anyone this season, especially now.

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts $1.2 billion in local sales tax allocations for November, 1.9 percent more than in November 2022.

The Holiday in the Park is looking for Vendors and Parade entries for their 2023 Christmas Holiday event on December 8!!

GEDC Director Trinity Davis’ Report October 17th, 2023

Local Senior Citizens were treated to a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner hosted by the City of Gorman last Wednesday, held in the Gorman Community Center. From smoked turkey and ham, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes to pumpkin pie and cobbler, everything was delicious. The meal was catered by David Campbell, owner of Spirit BBQ. This was the first of senior citizens meals to be hosted by the City. City Secretary Tacy Warren coordinated arrangements for the meal. Other citizens stepped forward to help with serving and various additional tasks including Lissa Young, Karen Pena, Joni Ettinger, and David and Vicki Perry. A large crowd arrived to enjoy the meal. Following lunch, Senior citizens were encouraged to stay for a game of dominoes or just visit for a while. A big Thank You to the City of Gorman, caterer David Campbell and all who helped make this senior citizen’s meal a great community gathering.

The Gorman High School Lady Panthers flexed more than a bit of muscle this past week. A lot more.

Middle School Honor Roll 2nd Six Week

All veterans who have served and those who continue to serve were saluted and acknowledge as heroes at Gorman ISD’s 2023 Veterans Day program.

Delila Crain scored 11 points and four other players chipped in seven more and helped carry the Gorman Lady Panthers to a 49-22 victory over the DeLeon Lady Bearcats in high school basketball action.

HALLOWEEN AT GORMAN CITY PARK PARADE AND ‘TRUNCK OR TREAT’

Since my last article, Gorman received a lot of rain. What a blessing! I hope the next big rain we get is over the water shed for our area lakes. Lake Proctor and Leon are still very low, and we have a lot of catching up to do before next summer. So, don’t stop praying for rain but be more specific about the locations that receive it, please!

The Gorman Panthers will close out their 2023 football season this Friday with a showdown against rival Lingleville. The game will be played at 7:30 p.m. in Lingleville.
