The Breckenridge American would like to apologize for a few of the posts made to our Facebook page during the last couple of weeks. It has been brought to our attention that some of our readers and subscribers did not appreciate a variety of the stories we had posted about, specifically regarding stories from other publications.
In the previous edition of the Breckenridge American, some information we gave regarding the new firetruck acquired by the Breckenridge Fire Department was incorrect.
In our story on the city commissioners meeting, we stated the department obtained their new pumper by selling one of their Class A firetrucks and paid $10,000 in the difference for their new one, along with $54,777 for the equipment that would come with it.
At the Breckenridge City Commissioners meeting on Jan. 2, the commissioners passed an item that would allow up to $50,000 to be spent on remedying the potholes around Breckenridge.
The city is getting the $50,000 from their budget for street maintenance, which comes from a quarter-cent sales tax.
More than 200 youth competed in the 61st Annual Stephens County Junior Livestock Show and Sale this weekend at the Ag Barn in Breckenridge.
The Stephens County Memorial Hospital unveiled their new Nuclear Medicine Lab Thursday afternoon with a couple representatives on hand to explain the benefits of the technology.
