A message from your Chamber
I hope to see you Saturday at the WilCo Business Expo and Job Fair. This event is one of my favorites of the year. There is SO. MUCH. WINNING. going on all day with door prizes and fun games.
The Lions Club will be there doing special eye exams for children. Mary Kay Cosmetics always has a fun and lively booth. We will have vehicles on display from Williamson County Equipment, Ewald Kubota and the Taylor police and fire departments.
The fire department plans to do CPR demonstrations and the Taylor Press is having a shredded paper counting contest where the winner wins and ice cream machine! Ancira's Salsa will be there to help you stock up for the winter. You'll have a chance to learn about local history from the Williamson and Dan Moody Museums and about politics from local political parties.
I am hoping to have some chickens and maybe even a dog or cat from the animal shelter. Add samples of Texas Beer and food from Sirloin Stockade and Curb Side Coffee House and that just scratches the surface!
A local Boy Scout troop will help us kick off the event with a posting of the colors at 10 a.m. and we will be rocking along until 2 p.m.
