I know that the town ordinance (pertaining to dogs barking) specifies that only after 45 minutes, is it considered disturbing the peace....let me just say....when I'm trying to sleep....even 5 minutes is WAY TOO LONG......please...be a good neighbor.....and a good pet parent....

My son and I were at the Soccer fields that day, I was amazed to see all the people at the Cemetary and baseball fields. I didn't get to see the crew along 236, thanks for posting all the pictures, I did see what was left to be picked up afterwards. It boggles the mind!!!! I also witnessed many other citizens (neighbors on other roads) picking up trash along the road. I'm proud of our community, it shows the human collateral we have here compared to driving around in other communities.

(5 fields and surrounding grounds) With the extra efforts people have put in over the last few years, the work on this day seems to get done quicker each year! I'm glad to be part of one of the great volunteer organizations in this town! Also Kudos to the town officials and employees who help us out with epuipment, supplies and the necessities of keeping the Aggie fields in such great shape! ps on the roadside litter...COVER your cans / pick ups or whatever on the way to the dump...tarps and bungies are cheap and would really help stop trash from flying out on the way!
