The City of Edna held their first annual Flag City Celebration on Saturday, June 13, featuring free hot dogs, live music, a kiddie carnival, antique car show and more.
Valerie Callaway, who helped organize the event, said it took many people to put together an event with so many moving parts, and because of everyone’s hard work, the event went perfectly.
Even a brief rain shower couldn’t keep people away. Attendees simply took shelter for a few minutes and kept on going.
Organizers even gave a free Flag City Celebration coloring book to Edna Elementary students before school let out, not only to invite them to the event, but to teach them a little bit of Edna history. Inside, the book had pages dedicated to City Hall, the Historic Texana Church, all the school mascots in Edna’s history, and plenty of other tidbits of historical information about the city they call home.
The good news for anyone who missed it is that the event is set to be an annual one, with even more to offer next year, according to Callaway.
