Once largely rural, Brazoria County is now seeing rapid urban growth, leaving many residents disconnected from the farms that sustain them. A new partnership at the county fair aims to rekindle that vital link.

A Katy man was arrested in Brazoria County following a police pursuit on Highway 288. Authorities say Tyler Kerr, 42, attempted to flee recklessly before law enforcement employed a PIT maneuver to bring the chase to an end.
