A recreational sport known as ‘skeet shooting’ has become popular across portions of the globe, and here in Texas. Last year, these gun owners were showing off their skills using clay discs as targets to help raise funds to support Ingleside’s ‘Project Graduation’. It’s a program that finances a safe, non-alcoholic, and entertaining graduation party complete with food for high school seniors each year, making certain they get home afterwards without incident. This is the second year for the Campbell Ranch Benefit Skeet Shoot, planned April 15 in Bayside.

Ingleside on the Bay Councilman Brenda Duncan, 53, has been researching options to build or install a chicken coop behind her Inglewood Dr. home, hoping to offset rising food costs resulting from inflation, causing sticker shock for many with the cost of a dozen fresh eggs purchased at the market. She has proposed an ordinance amendment to an existing rule to permit homeowners to keep up to six chickens for the sole purpose of providing for the benefit of their families. A similar measure she brought up for consideration failed to garner support when it was introduced last August.

Kaye Hester (left), 71, dreamed up an idea to surprise her 93-year-old mother, Nalda Louise Sullivan for her birthday January 16, posting in two local Facebook groups she invited neighbors from Ingleside on the Bay to stop by, wave, and offer her mom best wishes on her special day. The family relocated to IOB from Hobbs, New Mexico six months ago and knew no one, or had family nearby. Kaye could never have imagined the success of her plan.
