When Texas Worm Ranch owners Heather Rinaldi and Steve Clary came back on Tuesday after the Labor Day weekend, they received a nasty surprise. It seemed warm, so Heather went to check the thermostat and got no response. Steve climbed up to the 12-foot roof. When he got up there, he found that thieves had stolen all of the copper tubing and wiring in the units and rendered them unrepairable.

Business is good at White Rock Local Market's second location at Lakeside Baptist Church. By Saturday at noon, one vendor was out of eggs and a food truck was out of drinks.
