Buda Elementary will become the old Buda High School for a day, as the Bulldogs will be in town on Sat., May 8, reuniting for the annual high school reunion. Former students, teachers and friends are welcome to attend the gathering, which starts at 10:30 a.m. A barbecue lunch will be served at noon. There will be a handmade quilt raffled, silent auction, and lots of visiting.

A small brown and white dog caused a traffic jam on FM 2770 around noon last Sunday. Cars and trucks all stopped as several people worked to catch the dog, possibly saving its life. Hopefully the owner and dog have been reunited.
