Did you know Weatherford's Peach Festival has been bringing the community together for decades? What started as a celebration of Parker County's rich agricultural heritage has grown into one of North Texas' most beloved summer traditions.

Each year, residents and visitors gather downtown to enjoy local vendors, live entertainment, delicious food, and of course, the peaches that helped put Weatherford on the map. The festival is a reminder of the strong community spirit and hometown pride that make this area such a great place to live and work.

As this year's celebration approaches, we hope you'll take time to enjoy the festivities and support the local businesses, organizations, and volunteers who help make it possible. See you downtown!

We’re wishing a heartfelt Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures who pour so much love, strength, and guidance into their families.

Whether you’re celebrating, being celebrated, or remembering someone special, our team hopes today brings gratitude, connection, and meaningful moments.

We’d love to hear—what’s a favorite lesson or memory a father figure taught you?

June gives us so many reasons to celebrate the good happening around us, and stories like this remind our team just how much kindness shapes strong communities.

At Louisa County High School in Virginia, a group of automotive students has turned their classroom skills into life‑changing support. Instead of repairing cars just for practice, they restore donated vehicles and gift them to single parents who need reliable transportation. Through a partnership with the nonprofit Giving Words, these students have helped donate more than 60 cars and repair over 260 — one garage door reveal at a time.

For recipients like Jessica Rader, a single mom of three, that car meant confidence, stability, and the ability to work full‑time. It's a beautiful picture of how one act of generosity can open doors for an entire family.

Stories like this inspire us as a family‑owned, community‑focused agency here in Weatherford and Mineral Wells. We love seeing young people leading with compassion and making a real difference.
