Lago Howard, the City of Weatherford's special events manager, introduced himself to the Parks and Recreation Board on July 24 and described his responsibilities producing and managing roughly 35 city special events. "My name is Lago Howard, and I am the special event manager," Howard said, recounting his history with the city since 2010 and noting he manages First Monday, Shandor Gardens and downtown lighting projects.
Howard said his work includes permitting private events, coordinating safety needs such as street closures and police support, and managing large-ticket events that require months of permitting. He cited recent concert attendance figures—about 3,000 for a George Strait cover night and over 5,000 for a Back in Black ACDC tribute—to illustrate scale and logistical demands. Board members thanked Howard and asked about coordination with local schools for events; Howard said schools control their properties and the city handles permitting and logistics where city property or permits are involved.
