Devine Cactus Festival
November 2, vendor sign ups underway for locals first
The Devine Chamber of Commerce will host its annual 2024 Fall Cactus Festival on the first Saturday of November as usual, set for November 2 in downtown Devine with a festival, street dance and carnival.
Sign up as a vendor
This year preference will be given to chamber members to keep with the local first theme who sign up to be a vendor first. Then it will be opened to outside vendors. Only 3 of every kind of vendor will be allowed to provide a nice variety of vendors. The Devine Market Association has accepted the job of organizing the vendors and taking care of that part of the festival for the chamber. An August 23 deadline has been set for chamber members to apply to get dibs on a vendor spot. Chamber members will be given priority then local and then open to others. To give as much opportunity as possible to local people first. Think, Shop, Dine Devine!

Where in the Bible will I find…?
2nd Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
I trust, hope, and pray that you are doing well so far this week. As always I encourage you to get into the word of God on a daily basis. Have you read your Bible today? Let us also continue to pray for our nation’s defenders and our first responders. Our question for the week is; “Where in the Bible will I find someone told to watch what they say about the king because a bird might tell him what you said?”
