The July 2025 issue took readers outdoors — floating the Red River and celebrating Independence Day in America's most patriotic city — then attended Manna Café's Sprouting Hope Gala at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center and documented the Montgomery County Memorial Day Ceremony with the MCVSO and Hector Santos, plus Nori Fusion Sushi, a standout Rossview High School graduate, and part two of the Babailov profile.
