Castro County is full of giving people. We witness it every day, every month.
Most recently, the Pink Ladies gave a big donation to the Dimmitt Volunteer Fire Department – as they have done for some years. Their event has become popular, and the chili is great, as well as the cookoff events, golf tournament and other fundraising efforts.
Their hard work is of value to not only, Dimmitt, but Hart and Nazareth and even out-ofcounty towns that utilize the services of the DFVW.
Benefits have and are still being held for the Michelle Cure family in Dimmitt.
Monies for scholarships are raised by numerous groups and others to benefit churches.
The Nazareth community has proven to be a strong fundraiser for their small town – always their to help the community and residents.
While many take it for granted and these may seem like entertainments and fun – which they are – it is also about helping and sharing in rural Texas. Texans are known for that in West Texas.
According to a study on Texas stereotypes by a real estate company Movoto, native Texans are the most genuine, friendly people one will ever meet. The study goes on to state the kind gestures of residents of the Lone Star State.
Texas Monthly lists friendliness as fourth on its list of ’75 Things We Love About Texas’, stating, “Being glad to see you – no matter who you are – is something our mamas taught us from birth. The wide smile, firm handshake, the slap on the back – it’s the way Texans meet the world, the social grease that makes living here so pleasant and easy.”
In any case, never take rural Texas for granted, nor its people. It is one of the best places in America to live and raise a family.
