Eccentric Abilene

I'm not saying that Abilene is alone in the eccentric nature of the activities listed here. But they aren't the usual sorts of things one expects to find in the news.  
Take micro-chipping an animal for instance: Area pet owners are invited to have microchips implanted in their animals for only $10 on Saturday (Oct 5th). AND there will be a movie that's been paw-picked for dogs to enjoy alongside their people. The movie (BOLT) is an animated film spotlighting the adventures of Buzz Lightyear's canine equivalent. Expect  free popcorn and dog food samples to be available.
If a person's interests flow more toward hunting with dogs rather than watching celluoid critters, Abilene's website spotlights the city's ordinances affecting weapon use inside city limits here.

A recent Texas Crossword answer called attention to the Lacrosse team at the University of Texas in Austin. Did you know that the City sponsors Lacrosse lessons? Lessons available at Sears park.
Don't forget the Fall Clean up event. City residents will be able to dispose of used tires for free (exceptions apply please check the press release for more information). I can really appreciate that because someone dumped a tire in the alley behind my house.
For a short tour of Abilene sculptures see the around Abilene link above. Some of those are definitely eccentric.

    I am also "the favorite uncle Gary"  
    because 
    I always told the nieces and nephews that I was. Worked great until one of them realized I was their only uncle Gary.
