Good morning, Corpus Christi.

The annual Nueces County Junior Livestock Show has begun in Robstown with a horse show Saturday and will run until Jan.

18. Hundreds of local youth gather to build skills in agriculture + homemaking.

Corpus Christi now offers a 24/7 Christmas tree recycling drop-off that turns old trees into free mulch for residents.

The program reduces landfill waste (and increases safety) by repurposing the trees.
