Editor’s Note: “Opinions in this column are not representative of the views of The Madisonville Meteor.” Retraction, retraction! Last week, I shared the news about those rough and tough 2–4-year-old riders in the stick horse races competition during the Madison County Fair Rodeo. Kyler Mitchell won the Friday race but did not compete on a stick horse with an excellent pedigree.

Texas counties among nation’s fastest growing

Body
Recent estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that six of the 10 fastest- growing counties in the United States from 2022 to 2023 were in Texas. According to the Texas Tribune, Kaufman County, just east of Dallas, led the list with a 7.6% increase in new residents that brought its population to more than 185,000. Census data shows that Rockwall and Liberty counties closed out the top three, with growth rates of 6.5% and 5.7%, respectively.

And (drum roll, please), we have the 2024 Madison County Fair stick horse and mutton bustin’ champs!

In the mutton bustin’ competition for kids ages five through seven, congratulations to Harley Williams, who won the Friday night contest, and Addison Kelley, who was Saturday night’s champ.

Editor’s Note: “Opinions in this column are not representative of the views of The Madisonville Meteor.” This year, March has certainly held up to its fickle reputation. It seems to enjoy watching people hold onto their hats and pick up the neighbors’ yard décor that has blown over into their yard.
