Let's move on to city business!
** I want to first throw out a huge THANK YOU to all of the city staff and volunteers that help make the Texas Country Reporter Festival what it is. The amount of time it takes to bring everything together is immense, but in true Waxahachie fashion, people come out and help each other. Just another reason I love this city!! **
