Coppell

Now that Oak Fest is over, get ready for the Holiday Parade and Celebration.

If you're interested in organic gardening and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, then this two-part seminar is for you.

Hot air balloons, a laser light show and Emerald City. (PLUS funnel cakes!)

The right selection of perennials can turn your garden into a haven for butterflies and the caterpillars they spring from. Learn how to make it happen at this free educational event.

Old Town Coppell was near Bethel and Coppell Roads; the community was originally called Grapevine Springs.

Including spiffy photos of the Patriotic Parade.

So, get busy and design one! (The deadline for entries is June 26.)

If your city implements green initiatives, this non profit org wants to recognize 'em.

... including fireworks, of course!

This open-to-the-public meeting will cover planned expenditure allowances for the coming year.

The Tuesday, June 2 event is open to the public and will include a budgetary session.

Big bins = more soda bottles; raised consciousnesses = better recycling habits. (Plus karmic advancement, but that's another story.)

They'll meet on the evening of Tuesday, May 19 to attempt a budget-balancing act.

"The curious case of the earth-toned stucco exteriors" has also made it onto the agenda.

Kids and parents appear to have had a jolly good time - though perhaps the catfish would tell a different tale.

It's part of their ongoing Spring Education Series.

... in the hopes that other businesses will jump on the environmentally-conscious bandwagon.

The pond at Andy Brown Park will be stocked with a bunch of catfish just for this Family Fish event.

The burning question: will April 22 be designated as National Secretary's/Office Professional's Day, or will that politically-correct mouth-filling title be deemed too unwieldy for general use?

The Saturday morning (April 11) event brought out kids in (smallish) droves, eager to get their hands on the chocolaty goodies.
