Comal County has officially recognized September 17 through 23, 2025, as Constitution Week, following a proclamation by the Commissioners Court. This annual observance commemorates the 238th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution's framing and encourages citizens to reflect on their rights and responsibilities as Americans. The proclamation was unanimously approved, with local representatives expressing gratitude for the recognition of this foundational document.
In addition to the Constitution Week proclamation, the court honored the Texas Master Naturalist Lindheimer Chapter for its 25 years of service in environmental education and outreach. The chapter has contributed over 295,000 volunteer hours to the community, and September 18, 2025, will be celebrated as Texas Master Naturalist Lindheimer Chapter Day in Comal County. This recognition highlights the chapter's vital role in preserving the Texas Hill Country's natural resources.
The meeting also addressed practical community needs, with the court approving funding of $16,496.20 from Bear Metro 911 for the purchase of eight high-intensity chairs for the Comal County Sheriff's Office Communications Center. This investment aims to enhance the working conditions for dispatchers, ensuring they have the necessary equipment to perform their duties effectively.
Looking ahead, the Comal County Fair Association presented plans for the upcoming 2025 Fair and Rodeo, set to kick off with a barbecue cook-off on September 20. The fair, a longstanding tradition in the community, will feature agricultural exhibits, livestock shows, and new events like the Special Heart Show, which provides opportunities for special needs children to participate in livestock exhibitions.
The meeting concluded with a call for community engagement, particularly for the upcoming Comal County Employee Health and Wellness Fair on September 24, which aims to promote the well-being of county employees through various health resources and services. This event underscores the county's commitment to fostering a healthy work environment for its staff.
