Holiday Preparations: I know it seems like summer just ended (of course, it is South Texas so summer never really ends) but the Holidays are right around the corner; which means the City is going to be busy making preparations. Starting Monday, November 2nd, the City Crew will begin changing out lights and hanging decorations around town. We ask that you please stay clear of the lift and the crew as they work downtown and be prepared to slow as the begin hanging the Angels along the highway. We also ask that you please be careful around the decorations in Fannin Plaza. Also, it would really help the guys if those building owners with lights would leave the power on so that we could test them without a generator. Please contact Albert if you have any questions.

Also, with all the activities going on I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about a couple of street closures during the upcoming Festivities. A portion of the Square will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th as the community commemorates our Veteran’s and thanks them for their service. Additionally, Christmas in Goliad will be Friday, December 4th and Saturday, December 5th. We will be limiting access to the Square late in the afternoon on Friday, December 4th and coordinating access to parking near our businesses to accommodate the parade and other event. The streets will resume normal function on Sunday after the festivities. More information on exact times will be provided in the coming weeks.

Other City Information: As some of you have noticed, City Hall is now open through the lunch hour Monday through Friday for enhanced customer service. Also, although we still have not worked out all the kinks, the City’s web-site is back up and running. Please visit us online at www.goliadtx.net for more information on what the City is doing.
