Texas 2024 Chicken Fried Steak Festival Is Back This Weekend
Lamesa, Texas is the home of chicken fried steak thanks to a story that isn't true but has grown to be a true tale. The story goes that in 1911, Jimmy Don Perkins, a short-order cook at Ethel's Home Cooking in Lamesa, either misheard or misread an order for chicken and fried steak. Perkins took a piece of steak, dipped it in milk and flour, fried it and served it with French fries and gravy. The thing is, this story was completely made up by Larry BeSaw, a columnist for the Austin American-Statesman at the time. The story spread and was even picked up by a couple of national publications. Despite BeShaw's best efforts to show the story was a spoof, the legend became truth.

Local Horse Therapy Program Boosts Mental Health for Veterans at West Texas VA
The West Texas VA has introduced a program using horses to provide therapeutic experiences for veterans. This initiative was started by the '40 Something Cowgirls' from Big Spring, Texas, and Pam Kearney, who runs a miniature horse ministry in Lamesa, Texas. Veterans, such as 76-year-old Army Veteran Lawrence Wheat, have had the chance to interact with the horses, which has helped to reduce daily stress.

From SkyVue To Big Sky: Exploring The Magic Of Drive-In Theaters
I used to love to go to the Drive In. As a kid my Momma would take us kids out to the Drive In to see all of our favorites and even Mom's favorites cause she knew as kids we would fall asleep. As a adult I followed in the tradition by taking my kids to the infamous Sky-Vue in Lamesa. The Sky-Vue opened in 1948 with a capacity for 583 cars and seating for 320 walk-in customers. It was a thriving business long after most drive-ins were gone. I remember may elements of the Drive In one was the play ground for the kids. We would get there early just so the kids could play on the playground before the movie.
