Hart Economic Development Corporation Approves Advertising For New Businesses

At the June 13 meeting of the Hart Economic Development Corporation, approval was given for paying for a $50 newspaper ad each for two new businesses:  Shirley’s Tumbleweed and Thunder Well.

Shirley’s Tumbleweed is owned and operated by Kyle and Liz Therwhanger. Kyle is the grandson of Thomas Brooks and the late Shirley Brooks. They are selling collectibles and some used furniture. They are considering selling food.

Thunder Well is in the location of the former Triple A Pump. Silas Jones of Shallowater is the owner.

At this meeting, the oral resignation by former EDC member and Hart resident Danny Rodriguez was accepted. George Chapa, Jr. was appointed to fill this vacancy. (There is another vacancy which hasn’t been filled, that formerly held by Todd Straley.)

Officers were elected:  Stanley Dyer, president; Paul Ramirez, vice-president; and Vickie Ethridge, secretary. Others on the board are Lupe Velasquez and Tony Leibel; they were absent.

It was decided for the EDC to sponsor a cook-off for Hart Days; Vickie Ethridge is in charge of the cook-off.
