Just announcements -no market

We will not be having a Saturday farmers' market this weekend. We will be back in the saddle for next week's Wednesday and Saturday markets. Thank you for your support through out the year.

Learn about Austin Energy Solar Plant
Tue. Nov. 30 – 7 pm at Lions Club in Manor

The public is invited to attend a meeting at 7 pm Tuesday November 30th at the Lions Club, 105 W. Eggleston in Manor to discuss a planned solar plant.
Within the next six months, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) plans to begin constructing one of the nation’s largest photovoltaic solar installations (30 MW), helping Austin Energy meet its target of installing 200 MW of solar capacity by 2020 and generating 35% of its power from clean, emissions-free renewable energy resources by 2020. FRV will own and operate the system; Austin Energy has contracted to purchase all of the power it produces for a 25-year period.

Austin Energy’s 2,800 acre property is located in eastern Travis County, extending from near Blake Manor Road to near FM 969. The solar farm had originally been planned for the northern portion of the site, but has been changed to the southern section of the site in order to preserve numerous existing environmental attributes, including archeological and water features present at the northern location.

Manor Veterinary Hospital is now taking applications for a full-time receptionist position. Looking for great people skills, clerical skills, and a super attitude. Will train needed veterinary knowledge. Love of animals a must. Apply at Manor Vet Hospital 11311 Hwy 290 East, Manor Texas.

Last Day for the annual Turkey Shoot. Come show your support for our community and help the Manor Lions Club donate to our local charities.

Manor Lions Turkey Shoot every Sunday afternoon through the end of November It’s fall and that means it’s time for our seasonal series of Turkey Shoots. We hold them every Sunday from the beginning of October until the end of November, starting at 2pm and usually lasting for 20-25 rounds which takes about 2 to 2 and a half hours. Our location remains the traditional prime spot at the corner of Hwy 290 and FM212 right at the stoplight on the edge of downtown Manor.
We plan to continue to shoot 15 targets a round for at least 25 rounds a day and hopefully more, but with any luck we’ll be adding some special events as well, so watch this space for news on what we’ve got planned. Rounds are going to be $3 each, but we may also shoot some bonus rounds for bigger prizes for $5 each.
The specific dates for the shoots are: October 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 and November 7, 14, 21, 28.
Hope to see you all there.
