Hinton Record

We are looking to tell stories of those residents who have had COVID-19. If you or someone you know wants to share your experience, please let us know. You can contact editor Thomas R. Martinez at [email protected] or by phone at 580-623-4922. Similar to COVID-19 stories, we would also like to tell the stories of those who have received the vaccine and what that experience was like. Thanks.
