Tuesday Tunes Started off at The Sweet Tooth Shoppe

Now that the summer heat is upon us, Fulshear’s “Tuesday Tunes” street music promotion is at an end – at least for now.  The businesses in downtown Fulshear hosted the family-friendly event as a way of encouraging families to come out and enjoy the great things that Fulshear has to offer.

The City of Fulshear, along with the Downtown businesses, would like to thank everyone that participated and helped make the event so memorable.  The merchants that hosted the event through the month of June were: The Sweet Tooth Shoppe, Essence House Cafe, Rays Grill, Subway, and Riverbend Baptist Church wrapped it up June 30th.

The City hopes to bring the event back to Downtown Fulshear this fall.

The City of Fulshear will be honoring all Veterans at this years’ Independence Day Celebration being held THIS FRIDAY, July 3rd!  If you are a Military Service Veteran, the City of Fulshear would like you to ride in style in the City’s Parade.

Currently, plans are to provide a float and vehicles to honor our veterans in the parade.  If you would like to drive your own vehicle, that’s great – but registration is required.  By the way, please ‘muster’ at 5:30 at the Bob Luts Library parking lot.  The parade will commence at 6:30 pm.  Festivities will follow.

The City of Fulshear is asking for anyone needing to arrange transportation either on a float or in a car to please call Daniel at 281-346-2462.  We will help you get set up.

On another note, the City plans to read the names of area veterans during the festivities.  If you haven’t yet sent in your veteran’s information, please do by clicking this link.  We want to honor our veterans and no one should be left out!
