On the weekend, VFW Post 4372 hosted the first Military Rodeo Cowboys Association event at the Ector County Coliseum where active-duty military and veterans competed in bull riding, team roping, calf riding and chute dogging.
The event—featuring world champions and offering a path to qualify for the world finals in Arizona—raised funds to help veterans facing financial hardship.
Fiona, a 9-week-old kitten, is available for adoption at the no-kill Humane Society of Odessa at 2230 W.
Sycamore—adoption fees start at $75 and all adoptions require a spay/neuter contract.
Grand Companions announced its Pet of the Week with two-month-old Golden Retriever/Shepherd mixes Yarrow and Cedar—siblings that can be adopted separately.

Jagger, an 8-week-old male shepherd mix, is ready for adoption at the Odessa Humane Society.
Residents can visit the shelter (2230 W. Sycamore) to meet this no-kill pet and complete the adoption application.
📰 Lifestyle
Master Gardeners have noted that Mealy Blue Sage is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in full sun with little water—drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its long blooming blue-purple spikes.
Texas horticulturist Greg Grant discovered the plant in a local cemetery, and a white variety offers gardeners a striking contrast.
