JUNETEENTH CELEBRATIONS
JUNETEENTH COUNTYWIDE EVENTS
“On June 19, as we recognize Juneteenth, which commemorates the Emancipation of the last remaining slaves in Texas, although President Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation in 1863, and as we look at the uprisings all over the nation, let us remember that the fight for equality, inclusion, and justice, and the struggle, continues.”

Thank you so much to all the volunteers that came out to our Downtown Beautification Day on Saturday! We can’t thank you enough for helping us show downtown some love by picking litter and cleaning our sidewalks. We also presented new businesses with flowers as a show of appreciation for all they’ve contributed to our community!
