Whistle Stop Kicks off on Monday, Nov. 21

One of the biggest holiday events in Cleburne is almost here! Whistle Stop will begin on Monday, Nov. 21 with the Christmas Tree Lighting event at Hulen Park.

There are plenty of engaging Whistle Stop events throughout November and December to get you in the Christmas spirit. In fact, Cleburne made the top 10 list of most charming Christmas towns in Texas! View more about the ranking and planned events here.

Dumping Fees Increasing for Non-Cleburne Customers

Our Transfer Station allows for residents, non-residents and businesses to go to the facility and drop off bulk trash or recycling materials. Beginning Jan. 1, 2023, Transfer Station rates for non-Cleburne residents and businesses outside of the Cleburne city limits will go from $56.02 per ton to $65 per ton.

Rates for Cleburne residents and businesses located within the City limits will remain the same. (And Cleburne residents, remember that you can also drop off accepted recyclables and residential household waste at no charge!) View details here.

Spots Open on Boards and Commissions

If you haven't yet applied to be on one of the City’s boards or commissions, there's still space for you to make a difference in the community!

Collecting Gifts for Seniors

The goal of the next Kindness Club event will be to brighten up the day of local seniors. The Cleburne Public Library is inviting you to make ornaments for seniors on Thursday, Dec. 1.

The library will also be collecting gifts for seniors through Friday, Dec. 9. The list of donations includes items like puzzles, blankets, personal care products and more. View the full list here. Contact the library at 817-645-0934 or email Amy.Graham@cleburne.net for more details.

PET OF THE WEEK

We had to give you a two-fer this week because this pair is too cute to pass up! Meet Journey (female on the left) and Drifter (male on the right). These 3-month-olds were born at the Cleburne Animal Shelter and have been waiting for a forever home ever since.

If you're interested in one or both of these kitties, visit www.cleburne.net/petadoptions. Adoption fees are only $25 from now through Nov. 26.
