Alamo commissioners announce parks signups, library events and May Watermelon Festival
Summary
Commissioners promoted Parks & Rec youth baseball/softball signups, a PSJA special education Easter hunt (April 1), free library Easter photos (March 28), a Chamber networking night (March 19) and the May 9 Watermelon Festival (featuring La Mafia). Officials encouraged registration and volunteer participation.
Commissioners used the March 17 meeting to highlight upcoming community events and city services, including Parks & Recreation youth sports registrations, library programming, a chamber networking night and the May 9 Watermelon Festival.
A commissioner noted open roster spots for 6U and 8U softball teams and encouraged parents to register online or at the Parks & Rec desk. Library events announced included free pictures with the Easter Bunny at the Sergeant Fernando De La Rosa Library on March 28 and a screening of the movie Hop. Staff and commissioners also reminded the public that the city recycling center is open on Saturdays for plastics, cardboard and paper. A commissioner promoted the Watermelon Festival on May 9 and noted sponsorship and table registration options through City Hall; the festival’s headliner was identified in the meeting as La Mafia.
Why it matters: These items affect resident participation in city programs and volunteer efforts; the announcements gave dates, registration channels and contact points for the community.
Next steps: Residents were asked to register for sports via Parks & Rec, attend or volunteer at the trash bash and use the recycling center; staff will continue outreach as event dates approach.
