Thimesch: Holiday happenings around HD-65

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Our office is excited to celebrate the season with all of our communities – and all of your families.

One special highlight this year will be an HD-65 first… the official ornament to go on the Christmas tree in the Texas House of Representatives is from Lantana! This beautiful glass ornament was hand-painted by Audri and Evelyn who are in 1^st grade at E.P. Rayzor Elementary.

We will be at many of these celebrations around Denton County in the weeks to come, and I look forward to seeing you all around the community.
