COPPERAS COVE âThe Excel Club of Copperas Cove High School hosted a car, truck and motorcycle show in support of child abuse prevention, at the Cove Terrace Shopping Center in Copperas Cove on Saturday.
The show is in acknowledgement of April as the National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and all proceeds raised from the registration fees will support local child abuse prevention efforts.
Charles Lyons, the advisor of the Copperas Cove High School Excel Club, said the show was the selected format for the fundraiser because of his passion for cars and peopleâs pandemic fatigue.
âWe are at a stage where it seems like people are trying to get back to normal life,â Lyons said. âOne of the ways of doing that is to do some events where people can start interacting together and the best way is to do it outdoors.â

When hair stylist Nikki Reazola decided to quit working for other people and open her own business in Copperas Cove, it was a leap of faith â and it was terrifying.
âThe jump is like free-falling,â the 35-year-old mother of two originally from Lubbock said earlier this week. âBut I think if you are where you are meant to be, then itâs going to come easy. For it to be done and see that itâs successful, and people want to come in, itâs so gratifying.â
Officially in its first month of operation, Reazolaâs The Bookstore Barber Salon, 256 Cove Terrace Shopping Center, is off to a bit of a slow start due in part to last monthâs winter storm that paralyzed not only the city but much of the state.
As the Christmas season neared full swing last Saturday, a local small business held its inaugural Christmas Bash food drive to benefit local nonprofit organizations.
Jessie Jonasson, owner of The Healthy Hub, 258 Cove Terrace Shopping Center, said she has large ambitions for the food drive.
âSo, we want to go to Cove House,â Jonasson said. âBut . I want to get a hold of Communities in Schools, because weâve done school supply drives for them before.â
She said she hopes to get in contact with families she can donate to directly.
Every donation of a non-perishable food item equaled a raffle ticket for a drawing of one of two small business gift baskets.
