This summer the 1-4 Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, the army unit out of Fort Hood that the Hutto community adopted, will be deploying for Afghanistan. For many of these soldiers this will be their first deployment to Afghanistan, and the second time within a year that they will have an extended period away from their families with only limited communication.
In order to provide the best possible experience while in Afghanistan, the Hutto-Adopt-A-Unit is currently gathering supplies to prepare care packages to send to the troops during the deployment. Needed items include:

• Toiletries
• Skin lotion
• DVDs
• Games
• Phone Cards

Individuals who would like to contribute funds or care package items to the Hutto Adopt-A-Unit are asked to contact Mary Belton at (951) 218-3235 or e-mail the Hutto Adopt-a-Unit program at adoptaunit@embarqmail.com. Donations may be dropped off at:

As some of you may have noticed - I disappeared some time ago..

On January 7th, my husband had a very serious car accident in which he broke his neck & back - by God's grace, he is finally doing better and is making a full recovery. Our church, friends, and neighbors came out of the woodwork in droves to help us with whatever we needed without ever batting an eyelash.

Our lawn was mowed, our dinners were cooked, and our kids were even at play dates without us having to lift a finger, and we will never forget the intense love we felt from everyone around us. I can honestly say, Hutto (and especially the Legends of Hutto neighborhood) showed us its true colors and they were beautiful. Thank you.

Another update.. any day now we are expecting the newest member of our family to grace us with his presence! Jonathan is due to arrive very soon and will up our numbers to being a family of 8. Yes, 8. Obviously, this will leave little time for me to update your favorite Hutto-themed website for a time, but I will do my best.. I promise!

Stay tuned, Hutto - I have exciting ideas in mind for WHIH!

Hutto Parks & Recreation Department and Hutto Police Department team up to bring back the “TREATS ON EAST STREET” event for its fifth year!

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, October 31. Children are encouraged to dress in their scariest, prettiest, or most ghoulish costumes and come to downtown Hutto for a safe alternative to trick-or-treating on unfamiliar streets.

The event starts at 3:00 PM and lasts until 5:00 PM. The Costume Contest will begin at 3:30 PM next to the Hutto Chamber of Commerce building. See you there. Happy Halloween!
