The second week of November is finally here! Not only does that mean fall, but it means 2020 is almost over!

In between everything, there are a lot of choices on fun things to do around Freestone County.
First, let’s all remember that it is officially hunting season here, and that means exactly what you think it does. Backstrap.
Also the fact that there will be people in the woods shooting at things that move. Be smart and safe.
