​It started with a simple idea: to share the stories of the people who make Parker County special...

 

When Stephen Markwardt started our magazine in 2005, he had big dreams in mind. As a new resident, he saw there was something about the people that make Parker County special. In the years since, we have brought our loyal readers history, homes, fashion, food, people and events that highlight and celebrate the rich heritage of Parker County.

 

We tell about the best of us for the rest of us. Pick up a copy each month to discover something new about an old friend or someone new you need to meet. Find out what's going on and what you need to circle on your own calendar. Learn about our history and our experiences.

 

If you have a story idea, a comment or a suggestion, we like those too. Just send me an email.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Marsha Brown

Publisher/Editor in Chief
