Here are the top stories today in North Austin-Pflugerville:

1. The city of Pflugerville has experienced a growth in the “tequila distribution industry” for the past two years. “Two companies started their own brands and distributorships in the city, and the owners of both said they have continued to grow their product sales and recognition.” One of them is “Verdadero Tequila” launched by Sean Barber from Round Rock in July of last year. The other one is “Dos Cuernos” tequila launched by Peter Trevino, Angel Gallegos and Sylvester Palacios in February 2020. “Local experts say continued growth in this area could be great not only for Pflugerville’s reputation but also its economy.” For more information visit: (Community Impact Newspaper)

From my notebook:

• “‘Telling a People’s Story,’ on loan from the Miami University Art Museum, will be available to view from now through April 1 at the Pflugerville Public Library. For the first time, African American children’s illustrated literature is the focus of a museum exhibition featuring art produced for book illustrations. The presentation of this genre offers a lens into the cultural, historical, and social makeup of African American cultural identity, while also shedding light on the long-neglected world of African American authors and illustrators in the pantheon of children’s literature. This exhibition was 3 years in the making and included guidance and contributions from librarians, scholars, children’s book authors and illustrators. ‘Telling A People’s Story’ is a celebration of the power of illustrated children’s books that showcases their story. An exhibit guide is located at the library’s host desk.” (Facebook)
• “Pet ‘Pfest’ is Wednesday, March 16 from 2-4 p.m. Visit with adoptable animals and local rescues while picking up a craft to take and make at home.
