Hundreds from across Austin County and the
state of Texas made the trek Saturday to
Koenig’s place to enjoy the annual GOP Grand
Ol’ Picnic. Among those in attendance were var-

groups.
When planning the first meal
of the day, Bradicich urges par-
ents to consider the rise and fall of
blood sugar.
' "Cereal that’s low in sugar
and high in fiber will not cause a
peak and will provide a more sta-
ble, long-lasting energy source."
Although pastry tarts and
granola bars are handy for quick
breakfasts, they can be high in
sugar, depending on the brand.
