Jerry Boers carefully hangs a freshly-made sausage at the Hollowayville United Church of Christ Thursday. Boers and a roomful of other men made the pork sausage in preparation for the church’s 58th annual pancake and sausage brunch, which will be held Sunday. The brunch, which also includes French toast, applesauce, fruit and homemade pie for dessert, is served from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at a cost of $6 for adults and $3 for children.

Kendra Walters of Buda submitted this photo of a deer in the cornfield. Kendra said, “I caught this deer out the corner of my eye while driving down Prairie View Road Monday at about 8:30 a.m. It watched every move I made, but never attempted to get up and run away.”
