As we move into the warmer months, there’s no denying the excitement that comes with the season of outdoor events. From concerts to food fairs, summer activities to murals and sculptures, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Jarrell and towns around.

If you’re like me, you are already trying to mentally prepare for summer and find creative ways to entertain your kids. Thankfully, the Jarrell Community Library and Resource Center has done the legwork to provide summer fun in our own community.

We have also listed a full year’s worth of festivals and events taking place across Williamson County and in Austin. You’ll want to save those pages, mark your calendars, and get ready to experience the best in art, music, culture, and community spirit.

We’re also highlighting the mural commissioned to celebrate Williamson County turning 175 years. The project was personally significant to me and other members of the community who were invited to participate. It was a neat experience to paint alongside the artist and leave our little mark on history. My kids love driving by and pointing out the parts they painted.

You may also want to use our mural and sculpture map (pg 18) to spend an afternoon exploring the street art around Georgetown.

We hope you enjoy this issue, and that it inspires you to get out and experience the magic of Central Texas for yourself.

And, for all you moms, grandmoms, stepmoms, foster moms, and every woman who makes people feel like family, may your Mother’s Day be filled with love, laughter, and the appreciation that you deserve.
