GLEN ROSE Due to freezing temperatures and anticipated below-zero temperatures in the evenings and overnight for the next few days, Somervell County has set up a continuous warming station at the Somervell County Expo Center, and Judge Danny Chambers said it will remain open until temperatures climb.
Anyone experiencing extended power outages can go there to warm up, get snacks or spend the night.
“We ve got blankets and cots,” Chambers said. “All they have to do is really just show up and lay down as long as they don t have some kind of emergency medical issue or condition.”

GLEN ROSE The students at Glen Rose ISD have developed a tradition of walking to the Downtown Square on Fridays after school to buy snacks and goodies from local businesses like Shoo-Fly, Pie Peddlers, Texas Treasures and others located there.
As the numbers continued to grow, officials with Somervell County, in collaboration with groups and businesses in the area, came together to develop and build relationships with the youth, and the Somervell County Safety Coalition (SC)2 was formed.
Since then, it’s only gained momentum, and more and more businesses and groups including elected officials, schools, faith-based services, emergency response, state parks, local government, and health and social service agencies have joined in.
