Bastrop mayor highlights holiday events, community projects and volunteer drives
Summary
Mayor Harris used the Dec. 9 council meeting to recap recent and upcoming community activities — from the Fisherman's Park tree lighting and River of Lights to a countywide toy drive and the Mary On Main parade — and thanked local organizers and volunteers.
Mayor Harris opened the Dec. 9 Bastrop City Council meeting with a series of community updates and holiday reminders, calling out recent events and local volunteers who helped put them on. He noted the Fisherman's Park tree lighting on Nov. 28 and said the River of Lights display runs through Jan. 4, and he acknowledged Discover Bastrop for organizing the Mary On Main holiday programming.
“Thank you, Bastrop, for showing up for this day and making it wonderful for everyone,” Mayor Harris said, thanking volunteers and local organizers. He also promoted a countywide toy drive accepting donations through Wednesday, Dec. 17, and urged residents to support local charity efforts during the holidays.
The mayor named several community groups and individuals during his report and recognized the Bastrop Chamber’s recent five‑star accreditation. Council members later used their remarks to encourage public participation in upcoming events, and Discover Bastrop staff provided logistical details for Saturday’s parade, including a new online registration system for floats and separate routing for livestock.
