This is the view from my window that I see every day. I start my day with praises and a prayer for divine guidance in my actions, what I should or should not do... concerning the citizens of Slaton.
These past few months have presented us all with many choices and challenges as we move forward working “through” this COVID-19 Pandemic.
The Slaton City Council, our city Administrator, employees of our city, and numerous conversations with citizens and other Texas leaders have brought us to the decision to cancel our Annual 4th of July Festival held in the park this year.
However, we encourage all of our citizens and their families and friends to celebrate our Great Nations Birthday and Independance Day in a manner of your choosing!
Go to the park-have cookouts or picnics
Stay in or go out
Make some new traditions
Or just relax and enjoy the Holiday!
Above all-stay safe-and celebrate the joy of living where you do and God’s Blessings on all of you!
