Valentine, TX

On our way from Van Horn to Marfa, we had lunch in Valentine, TX.  The high school students prepared lunch for us as a fund raiser for their trip to Italy.

Valentine appears to be another agricultural based community, which is headed for extinction.  This seems to be a global trend.  Certainly, we see it in Iowa; and Judy and I witnessed this in our travels in Denmark last year.  

The school district which serves Valentine has 29 students, K-12; with only 9 students in the high school.
