In Shepherd, Shepherd Superstore owner Marvin Green was welcomed into the Shepherd Chamber of Commerce. This store is a big surprise on entering. Once Lakeway Store, it has been transformed into a bright, clean and fascinating place to shop.
New and some secondhand items fill the large space. Clothes, jewelry, decorative kitchen ware, furniture and decor along with toys and tools, artwork and bird feeders — the list is long. Everything is very reasonably priced, and Marvin and his sister Joyce offer a really special addition to the area residents looking for a bargain.
Call (832) 620-8700. Located at 11403 Highway 150 and Frontage Road going south on Highway 59.

•Coldspring Garden Club held their meeting this week. Jessica Jones of the Lake Livingston Water Willow Project explained how volunteers helped with this event which is supported by the Trinity River Authority, Friends of Lake Livingston and Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Planting willow shoots along the shores of the lake serves many worthwhile endeavors. Fingerlings can hide from predator fish till they can grow. Water is purified by the plants which also clarifies the water. Floating islands have been constructed on the lake and all this effort helps to make the lake a place of learning for students from High Schools who help plant the Willow shoots. They also help propagate them in school.
