Free Spring Break Activities

Spring Break is next week for a majority of Cleburne students, and the City is helping you find free ways to keep the kiddos occupied.

Whether you’re wanting them to do arts and crafts, play games or participate in a scavenger hunt, there’s something you can find for children of all ages. The activities run from March 11 through March 18.

Take a Look at the Various Schedules

Main Boat Ramp Now Open

We’re thankful for all the rain we’ve been getting lately. Lake levels at Lake Pat Cleburne have now risen enough for the main boat ramp on the east side (by Cleburne Golf Links) to reopen.

The other ramps will remain closed until levels in those areas reach a point that is safer to launch.

Christmas in Action Needs Volunteers

Christmas in Action is a nonprofit agency that partners with the community to repair homes of low-income elderly and/or disabled homeowners. The organization is needing volunteers for some upcoming spring and summer projects.

Get a group together to help with yard cleanup, fence repairs, house painting and more. Call 817-243-7087 to see what projects and days are available.

Wastewater Crew Member Earns All-Star Award

There’s a star among us! Jason Thomas, one of the City’s sewer maintenance workers, earned the latest All-Star Award.

He fills in wherever needed, works very hard, does a great job and never complains. Learn more about why he's so deserving of the award here.

Snag a Deal at a Local Garage Sale

Where are the garage sales? The City updates the garage sales list every week to keep residents informed about where they can find their next deal.

Also, before hosting a garage sale, please review the rules and regulations that are in place to make the experience enjoyable for all. Take a look at the latest garage sale locations and the rules to host one here.

Take a Hike with a Homeless Dog

Here's a win-win for you and one of our furry shelter friends. On Saturday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can go on a hike at the Cleburne State Park with one of the dogs at the Cleburne Animal Shelter.

Pay $6 to participate or donate an item to the shelter in lieu of an entrance fee. Details about the schedule and what to bring for the day of fun is available here.

Learn the Basics of Budgeting

Many people have trouble keeping track of their money, and surveys show that a majority of U.S. households don't prepare or follow a monthly budget. That's why the Cleburne Public Library is hosting free budgeting basics classes to make sure you're staying on top of your money matters.

One will be held on Saturday, March 11 at 1 p.m. The other will be on Monday, March 27 at 6:30 p.m. Call 817-645-0934 for further details.

PET OF THE WEEK

This cute kitten is ready for adoption. Dayton is a 3-month-old domestic longhair mix who is still discovering the world around him.

He loves playing with his toys, meeting new friends and curling up for a nice nap. Does he sound like the purr-fect addition to your home? Get adopt information here.
