T-Ballers down PD/FD, 4-1

On a recent weekend in October, a T-Ball team in The Colony did not have an opponent. When The Colony Police and Fire departments found out, they challenged the little dudes to a game. It was close at first, but the T-Ball team defeated the First Responders, 4-1. Great game, kids! Your friends in public safety look forward to the rematch.

City offices, facilities, and the library will be closed Thursday, Nov. 11, for Veterans Day. There will be NO delays to trash/recycling collection that week. Thank you!
