Good things for Cuero’s youth in water and out

Hello All I attended the ribbon cutting to the new splash pad at Alexander Park this past Thursday, Sept 5th. It was so refreshing to see the smiles and hear the laughs of joy coming from the children enjoying getting wet and cooling off from the summer heat. The event was well attended, including members of the Cuero City Council, the City Manager, Park superintendent, the Chamber of Commerce, the Cuero Development Corporation and the former Mayor, Sarah Post Meyer to name a few. 09/11/2024 08:34 PM
