Meet Peyton, the gentle soul who’s ready for his next chapter!

Peyton is a handsome Labrador Retriever/Collie mix with a heart as sweet as his face. He came to TBC as a shy puppy alongside his mom and littermates after living in difficult conditions, but thanks to patience, love, and care, he has blossomed into a gentle, clever, and affectionate companion.

At 4 years old and 55 lbs, Peyton has discovered that walks are one of life’s greatest joys, and he would love a home with a friendly dog to play with and learn from. He’s recently been neutered, rides well in the car, and is always ready for his next adventure.

Peyton may have started out shy, but today he’s ready to leave the past behind and find a family that will love him for the wonderful dog he is.

Thank you to the young lady that dropped off cookies and brownies for the guys, we really appreciate it!!”

The late Wanda Thompson was recently featured in the series, “A Pioneer of Our Community.”

“We celebrate the life of Wanda (Williams) Thompson (1933–2019), a pillar of our community whose dedication to Quinlan is now set in motion for the future. Through the newly established Wanda Thompson Memorial Scholarship, her spirit of service will continue to inspire and uplift the next generation of Quinlan leaders,” stated the commentary.

Her family moved to Quinlan when she started the fifth grade. A 1952 graduate Quinlan High School, Thompson played basketball during her high school years. “Wanda lived by a simple, powerful philosophy,” it continued. l”I think we don’t have a reason to complain if we don’t do something. I have always been interested in making the community a better place to live.”

Mrs. Thompson didn’t just talk about making a difference; she led by example throughout her life:

The monthly lunch and fellowship of the Lake Tawakoni Regional Chamber of Commerce was held last week with Randy and Kelly Wineinger hosting the lunch catered by Ranchero’s Mexican Grill. See pictures here!

Mr. Wineinger gave information on taxes and answered some questions along with his team from the Hunt County Tax office.! The Wineinger’s daughter provided taco cupcakes for dessert and Honey's Sweets & Treats provided some cake pops.

Member of the month was Fix and Feed Hardware and the non-profit of the month was Quinlan Sports Association.

The July meeting will be at DC Cannon Elementary School, followed by a ribbon cutting, celebrating the opening of the Quinlan Community Park extension and re-dedication of the Stacy Earls Memorial Tree.

On Friday, the chamber celebrated with Dr. Sheela Thomas, DDS, and her staff at Parkway Family Dental in Quinlan the grand opening of her new offices and clinic at 711 E. Quinlan Parkway. It was Parkway Family Dental’s 10th anniversary for Dr. Thomas, too.

Holli Hamilton has been elected president of the 2026-27 Ford High School Chapter of Future Farmers of America.

Serving with her are Vice President Eliza Moore, Secretary Emma Mouton and Treasurer Josephine Broussard.

Also elected were Sentinel Zachary Way and Reporter Casey Traylor.
