October 22 marked the official opening of the new Woods Road interchange.  Judge Ralston cut the ribbon with Waller County Sheriff’s Department, Waller County Economic Development Partnership, the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce and landowners in attendance. 

Woods Road is the main artery for the proposed Prairie Parkway.  This is a stretch of road that will link I-10 and Hwy. 290 to create a quicker route to and from the northern end of Waller County. 

Landowners J. D. Woods, Robert McMillan, and Marhaba Partners contributed the land for the project.

Good Morning America Comes to Waller County

Sam Champion milked a cow, rode a horse and fired small pumpkins at a target on live television Friday morning as the weatherman broadcast his segment of “Good Morning America” from Dewberry Farm in rural Waller County.

“I don’t want that first shot to be a lot of horsey activity because we’re going straight to news,” Champion instructed his producer, Darcy Donfils, as they staged their introduction into the weather segment from the studio in New York.

Champion and a small camera crew made a pre-dawn broadcast from the popular agricultural entertainment center. He said he came down here to cover the break in temperature that has seared the area for the past several months. The cool, cloudy morning didn’t disappoint him.

“We intended to have a little more fun as well,” he said.

But breaking weather news with a major snowstorm in the northeast caused him to focus more on the weather than the agritainment around him.

“‘Agritainment’ is a word. It’s in the dictionary. They just put it in there last year,” said Dan Bradshaw, co-owner of Dewberry Farm.

He said he and his partners were thrilled when they got the call from the morning news program asking if they could report live from the 100-acre farm.

“It’s about time,” he quipped. “We were honored that they chose us,” he added more seriously. “There are not many places like Dewberry Farm in this area.”

Tucked away north of Brookshire on FM 362, Bradshaw said the show’s producers found them through their Website on the Internet (www.dewberryfarm.com).

Moving to different locations in order to broadcast every 30 minutes, the GMA crew had everything very well choreographed a day ahead of time.

“We were looking for a great place to show fall – to get out of Houston and get into the countryside,” Champion said. “That’s why we chose Dewberry Farm.”

Brookshire Business Guide… a business bringing businesses together. John Garza established this business newspaper in April of 2009 looking for a way to bring our surrounding communities and businesses together to reach their fullest potential in these economically hard times. We currently have four great employees who willfully take pleasure in being of service to our community.

With the westward sprawl of Houston and the tremendous growth of our neighboring towns, Katy and Fulshear, our city of Brookshire is set for much more growth. We are encouraging economic growth in a coordinated, enthusiastic and cooperative approach through civic and business leaders. We are trying to uplift the supply and demand for our local businesses and consumers. Through exposure, advertisement and word of mouth our businesses will prosper. In turn our businesses as well as our community will grow to become more fulfilling to business owners as well as local residents who need these businesses from day to day. We also strive to bring awareness to the local residents on the surrounding businesses and the convenience of services that they offer.
