Homemaker opens up front porch stand in Wichita Falls

A Wichita Falls woman aims to bring the community together by means of her new small-business porch stand, Shugarshoo Home Goods . The front porch stand is self-serve and open for business 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the corner of Rhea Road and Blankenship Street. According to owner Kayla Crane, the business started off in July 2024 as a way of earning extra income. She began attending the Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers Market on Saturdays, but her business steadily became something bigger as the demand grew. In April, Crane opened up the self-serve porch stand, which offers customers another avenue to purchase her made-from-scratch products. "In our opinion, everything in the world is getting kind of lackadaisical, and commercial, and everything is made cheaper with seed oils, and it's all about making a dollar," said Crane. "Everything we do, we do with the best ingredients we can that makes reasonable sense to also be able to turn a profit." Crane said her products do not use vegetable or canola oil, and she only uses real butter. The caramel, toffee and puddings used in the cookies or treats are made from scratch on the stove.

Eads: A month of gratitude

While early voting is underway at the time of writing this column, by the time it is published, we will have had the opportunity to make our voices heard through the democratic process. Whatever the outcome, the peaceful exercise of self-government is worthy of our gratitude. The voting process reminds us that citizenship is not a spectator’s role. We are asked to participate, to listen and, after the votes are counted, to remember that we are still friends and neighbors. We may not always agree, but we remain residents with a shared stake in the future of our country and our county.

City of Justin Update – November 2026

November gives us a chance to pause, breathe, and truly appreciate the people who make Justin the warm, close-knit community we are so proud to call home.

A New Drive-In Theater Opens In McKinney

Movie night is getting a little dose of nostalgia in McKinney. Instead of finding a seat in a dark theater, moviegoers can settle into lawn chairs, gather around their cars and watch a film beneath the Texas sky at Wayback Drive-In, a new outdoor movie theater opening this November. Located at Wayback Barn, 3964 County Road 168, the drive-in is the latest addition to the four-acre outdoor entertainment destination in north McKinney. A grand opening is scheduled for Nov. 6-8. It is the only drive-in movie theater in McKinney and one of the few still operating in North Texas. Guests who purchase movie tickets also receive admission to Wayback Barn, where they can arrive early to play yard games, take on the mini-golf course or grab something to eat and drink before the show. "We wanted to give families a reason to slow down, share a meaningful experience, and turn movie night back into an outdoor social event," said owner Laura O'Dowd. More Than A Movie There is plenty to do before the opening credits roll. The property features a collection of outdoor games, including gaga ball, tetherball, nine square, horseshoes, volleyball, cornhole, ping-pong, foosball, bocce ball and giant Jenga.
