White water rafting?
Slow down
Let it snow, let it snow
![Much of the Panhandle was covered by snow over the weekend with reports coming in of totals between six and 11 inches across the county. TxDOT crews worked to keep highways open, and city workers cleared the central business district Monday morning. Clarendon ISD delayed classes Monday by two hours but was back on schedule by Tuesday.

Seed Survivor mobile trailer comes to town
Clarendon Elementary students gained new insight about farming and where our food comes from last week when a mobile educational trailer visited the campus.
Agrium Inc. and Texas Farm Bureau are working together to engage students in the Science behind the growing of healthy plants and the study of where our food comes from.
Seed Survivor is a free, curriculum-based learning experience that encourages elementary children to master the elements that plants need to grow.

Approximately 30 students can participate in the display at one time and it takes one hour to complete. Students spend half the presentation outside the trailer in a guided plant nutrient lesson and half the presentation inside the trailer playing multi-media and virtual reality video games on soil, water, sunlight, nutrients and growth.
After learning the elements that plants need to survive, participants can then plant a sunflower seed to take home and grow.
The exhibit tours North America year round and will be in Texas from November – March 2014.
Seed Survivor is like a field trip that comes to you and is completely curriculum aligned in grades K-5. The display is suited for Grades 3 and 4 but can accommodate upper and lower grades.
O Christmas Tree
![Donley County folks had a brush with fame Sunday morning... or a famous tree at least. The US Capitol Christmas Tree came down US 287 through Clarendon and Hedley as part of its 5,000-mile journey from Washington State to Washington, DC. The 88-foot tall Engelmann spruce was harvested in the Colville National Forest on November 1. It was wrapped over a period of three days for its journey and will arrive at the US Capitol in time for Thanksgiving.
