SNEAK PEEK THE WEEKEND

WE CAN HELP THIS SMALL BUSINESS RECOVER FROM THE FLOOD

Tuesday when the lake was almost 100% full, we came across the owner of Hill Country Paddle Sports loading up all their equipment.

"Any more rain tonight, and it's going to take it all," he told us. And that rain did follow.

Unfortunately, he couldn't load up his building. And as you might imagine, it went completely underwater.

So they've started a page to raise funds to repair/replace the building, as well as replace lost income during what should be their peak season.

Want to help? You can donate here.

Thanks!

We hope you have a good week. Talk to you tomorrow!

Until next time,

— Chris
