KEEPING HAMILTON BEAUTIFUL

KEEPING HAMILTON BEAUTIFUL

KEEPING HAMILTON BEAUTIFUL - Deanna Melde and Kristi Hitchcock assist groundskeeper Carl Taylor in sprucing up the flowerbeds around the historic Hamilton County Courthouse. The greenthumb duo is utilizing established foliage, transplanted cannas and lillies and some new blooming plants from Hamilton Farmers Market to give the beds a new look. They’ve even incorporated some driftwood pieces and rocks from nearby Pecan Creek. “We enjoy it. This is good therapy for us,” said Melde.

Many, many thanks

Celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the Gary Wayne Schoen, Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament, we are always very happy to have all of our golf family back together again. Many thanks go out to all of the golfers that continue to support our event and scholarship program year-after-year.

Notes from the Mayor

Our city administrator, Ryan Polster, received a call last week from John Provine who is with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. His job is to test city lakes for water quality. Utilizing electro-shock, which temporarily stuns the fish and allows them to float to the top, they check for health issues. On July 23, Mr. Provine tested our Hamilton City Lake. He reported that our city lake was in much better condition than most he checks and that there were many largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill and feeder fish.
