CUERO, Texas — Pet Adoptions of Cuero (PAOC) brought smiles, stories, and plenty of furry charm to the English‑German Schoolhouse at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum last week during the museum’s monthly Cowpoke Story Time event.
Local children’s book author and illustrator Marsha Edmands headlined the program, sharing the heartwarming tale of her adopted puppy, Raisin, from the PAOC shelter. More than 30 children and parents filled the beautifully restored historic schoolhouse to hear Raisin’s story and participate in hands‑on activities.

Young attendees enjoyed a lively reading, followed by a special meet‑and‑greet with both the author and the now‑famous canine star, Raisin. Each child had their photo taken with the pair and created colorful, custom picture frames during the craft session. As a playful touch, every child also received a box of real raisins featuring Raisin’s photo on the label.
The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum continues to host Cowpoke Story Time as part of its mission to provide free, educational, and family‑friendly programming for the community. Museum staff coordinated the event at no cost to participants, offering a welcoming space for early learning and creative exploration.

PAOC volunteers were honored to participate and brought along several small kittens for the children to pet and cuddle, adding an extra layer of excitement to the morning.
Edmands’ book, “Raisin, the Last Puppy Chosen,” is available on Amazon and at the PAOC shelter, with all proceeds benefiting the nonprofit’s rescue and adoption efforts.
The event showcased the strong partnership between local organizations working together to support literacy, history, and animal welfare in DeWitt County.

AUSTIN, TX — Cuero was well‑represented at the Boys State Powerlifting Meet, where Stran Gaitan delivered one of the top performances of the day, earning fourth place in the 132‑pound Unequipped Division. His finish places him among the strongest lifters in Texas, a notable accomplishment in a division that combines athletes from every classification, 1A through 6A.
Gaitan’s fourth‑place ranking reflects months of disciplined training and steady improvement, but he wasn’t the only Gobbler on the platform. A group of Cuero lifters joined him at the state meet, each contributing to the program’s growing reputation for strength, consistency, and competitive grit. Their presence at the state level underscores the depth of talent within the team and the commitment that has carried Cuero powerlifting through another successful season.

While Gaitan’s finish stands out on the leaderboard, the collective effort of the entire group tells the fuller story — early‑morning workouts, long travel days, and the kind of team support that pushes athletes to exceed their own expectations. Together, the Cuero lifters represented their school and community with pride, demonstrating the work ethic that has become a hallmark of the program.
For Gaitan, the fourth‑place finish caps a standout season. For the rest of the team, the state meet marks another step forward in a program that continues to build momentum year after year.

CUERO, TX-The clock is ticking, and Cuero residents are down to their final opportunity to weigh in on the City’s Draft Comprehensive Plan — a document that will shape how Cuero grows, builds, invests, and protects its quality of life for years to come.
The draft has been available since January. Many have already taken the time to read it, question it, and offer thoughtful suggestions. But MOST RESIDENTS haven’t — and now, the deadline is here. And silence now means letting others decide what Cuero’s future looks like.
This is the moment to speak up.
A Plan That Will Shape Cuero’s Future
The Comprehensive Plan isn’t just another city document. It influences decisions about:
• Housing and neighborhoods
• Infrastructure and utilities
• Parks and recreation
• Transportation and traffic
• Economic development
• Land use and growth
• Community character and long‑term vision
If you care about how Cuero looks, feels, and functions in the next decade, this is your chance to help steer that direction.
The Deadline Is Here
The City’s survey closes April 3 at midnight.
After that, the next chance to comment won’t come until the full draft plan is released this summer — long after key decisions are shaped.
Cuero’s future shouldn’t be shaped by a handful of voices. It should be shaped by the people who live here, raise families here, and care about what this community becomes.
If you want a say, take a few minutes and make it count.
This is your last chance — for now — to influence the direction of Cuero’s future.
Your Voice Matters — But Only If You Use It
Too often, people assume decisions are made without them. But here, the City is asking — directly — for your input. Ignoring that invitation means letting others decide Cuero’s future for you.
If you want better roads, stronger neighborhoods, more opportunities for families, or a clearer vision for growth, then take a few minutes to review the draft and complete the survey.
This is Cuero’s plan.
This is your community.
And this is your last chance — for now — to help shape it.
The 2026 Cuero Lady Gobblers softball team enters tonight’s district matchup riding a wave of momentum, strengthened by a historic milestone and a string of strong performances on the field.
On March 25, senior standout Julianna Cox officially broke the Cuero High School career hits record, surpassing the previous mark and reaching 164 career hits. Cox’s consistency at the plate has anchored the Lady Gobblers’ offense, and her record‑setting achievement adds a major highlight to the program’s 2026 campaign.
Cuero has shown steady improvement throughout the season, most recently delivering a dominant 16–1 victory over San Antonio Kennedy in district play. The win showcased the team’s balanced approach — aggressive hitting, disciplined baserunning, and dependable defensive execution.
The Lady Gobblers’ roster features a strong mix of returning talent and rising contributors, including L. Dobesh, Reagan Reitz, M. Trevino, Natalyn Milliorn, and Elizabeth Hernandez. Coaches say the group has continued to sharpen its rhythm as district competition intensifies.

Tonight, Cuero returns to action in a pivotal district matchup, looking to build on its recent success and maintain momentum in the standings. With Cox’s milestone energizing the team and the roster settling into a confident groove, the Lady Gobblers aim to deliver another strong performance.

As the season progresses, Cuero remains focused on consistency, teamwork, and capitalizing on the excitement surrounding Cox’s historic achievement.
First pitch is set for 6 p.m., and fans are encouraged to show their support as the Lady Gobblers continue their push through district play.
