P31 Fitness Ribbon Cutting, Tuesday, June 9th at 6:15am!!!
Rachel Curtis will begin her boot camp workout session with P31 Fitness on Monday, June 8th either at 5:15 am or 6:30am at Buford Park (Basketball Court) and we will be hosting the ribbon cutting, the second day of boot camp on Tuesday, June 9th at 6:15am.
What is P31 Fitness you may ask?
P31 Fitness is a unique fitness environment in which women from different walks of life come together for encouragement and support in all areas of health. Each class is a time that women can push one another to their full potential, hold one another accountable, learn from one another, and enjoy their fitness experience. So come out early on the 9th and join us in welcoming P31 Fitness to our community! Bring your workout shoes, too!

Ice Cream, Ice Cream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!!!
Why is it that ice cream tastes soooo good on a hot afternoon? I don’t know the answer; I just know that it does! If you like to make homemade ice cream, then why don’t you enter the Ice Cream Contest…you have nothing to lose and possibly $75 bucks to win! The Chamber of Commerce will present The 8th Annual Texas State Champion Homemade Ice Cream Freeze-Off on Saturday, June 13th at 4:00 on the Civic Center Grounds. It is absolutely FREE to enter your freezer of ice cream…all you have to do is fill out an entry form and have your ice cream ready to be judged at 4:00 on the 13th! If you would rather just eat ice cream, than make it, then make plans to join us for only $3 for all-you-can-eat ice cream! For more information and entry forms, either call us at 903-885-6515 or stop by our office at 300 Connally Street! Entry forms received before June 8th will be entered in a drawing for great prizes…so get them in soon!
