5. Discussion of Planning Efforts for the City of Colleyville 50th year
Celebration Event
Nelson Thibodeaux reported that research had been done to find other
cities that were also celebrating a 50th anniversary. Our neighbor cities of
Westlake and Southlake will be celebrating a 50th also. Those cities have
been contacted with the possibility of maybe doing at least one (1)
combined event. Other ideas are to adopt a slogan to build a theme
around, combine a homecoming with the annual Pleasant Run School
Reunion, and approach various organizations to have an event during the
year. Thibodeaux also suggested that the two events that the City might
have a more active involvement for the 50th celebration are the July 4th
celebration and "Celebrate Colleyville", held in December.
Thibodeaux requested that a proposal be submitted by the October
meeting.

concerning the property and log barn, which dates to back to 1877 on the
Alholm property, to the City Council in October or November. He also

bids for restoration of the log barn.
Gerald Hartman Jr., reported that he has prepared a letter to send to the
Salter family, owners of the Bone house, located at Glade and Bedford
