Welcome to the Brownwood Bulletin The Brownwood Bulletin traces its roots to two 19th century weeklies, the Brownwood Banner and the Brownwood Bulletin.

2 Welcome to the Brownwood Bulletin The Brownwood Bulletin traces its roots to two 19th century weeklies, the Brownwood Banner and the Brownwood Bulletin. Will Mayes, a Brownwood attorney, purchased the Bulletin and in the 1890s purchased the Banner. On October 15, 1900 the Brownwood Bulletin became the community s first daily newspaper. Today, the Brownwood Bulletin publishes 3 days per week. The Bulletin also publishes the weekly Heartland Trading Post shopper publication every Tuesday to more than 8,000 homes in the Brown County region. Along with its print publications, the Bulletin updates its readers and community with news as it happens on its website, The Bulletin opened its ThriveHive franchise in July 2014, offering local businesses digital marketing solutions such as paid search marketing, targeted website display advertising, website creation and maintenance, and social media marketing services.

An appreciative host of spectators who lined the streets of downtown Brownwood Saturday morning surely loved the colorful Brownwood Feels Like Home Grand Parade, expressing approval for the 43 floats, more than 100 vehicles, marching bands and dozens on foot who passed by. Parade Chairman Rick Phelps decided that the grand marshal for this year s parade would be law enforcement, in honor of the late Sheriff Bobby Grubbs and the other law officers who have died this year. A pickup with a placard bearing Grubbs name and a caravan of law enforcement vehicles helped lead the parade away from its staging area in the Bank of America parking lot and on Clark Street. Representatives of the U.S. military and World War II re-enactors were among the parade s participants. The parade began at 10 on a morning that couldn t seem to decide if the weather was going to be pleasant or hot. The day would cool off later in the afternoon as rain fell, but the morning weather seemed to trend toward the warm side. While a few spectators commented on the increasingly warm morning, no one seemed to mind as vehicles, floats and participants on foot traveled down the narrow downtown streets. As participants made their way back into the Bank of America parking lot at the parade s conclusion, Phelps had some announcements: The Sisters on the Fly entry was awarded first place, followed by Kids Inc. with a second place award and Brownwood Nursing and Rehab with third place. Phelps stepped forward to greet participants as they entered the parking lot. Hey, thank you for coming hey, good job, band thank you, Scouts, for coming. You looked great. A float carrying Early Middle School cheerleaders passed by Phelps. Hey, did y all have a good time? Phelps called out. Phelps received a one-word answer: Yeahhh! We deliver shoppers to your business. STEVE NASH BULLETIN PHOTOS TOP: Maggie Yantis and Brooklynn Richmond dance in the finale.
