We want to THANK Commissioner Hoagland for stopping by, all the sponsors for their donations and vendors that participated in our festival this year. Just to name a few;
B&L Sound (located here in Nevada)
Rockwall Ford
TXU Delivery
Vik’s Kitchen
Six Flags
Collin County Sheriffs Dept

Classic Homes
Target
and many, many more. And of course a big THANKS to our NevadaFest Committee Nancy Cooksy, Richard Caldwell and Marla Barth.

NO FIREWORKS IN THE CITY OF NEVADA?
Yes it’s true; Ordinance No. 97-7 was adopted by City Council on Oct. 13, 1997 prohibiting Fireworks in the city limits of Nevada. We want to thank everyone for complying with the city ordinance and allowing all Nevada Citizens to have a safe 4th of July Holiday.
NVFD IS HERE TO STAY!
No, we are not loosing our Fire Department. They are however expanding with a new sub-division in Lavon and need more room to grow here in Nevada. The current lot and building they now occupy is too small and can no longer be repaired. They have a generous offer of land from Mr. Bill Williams who owns acreage off 593 in Nevada, he will trade as much land as needed for the new station for the current lot they are now occupying. They have the land, now all they need is a slab foundation and a metal building. If you can donate these items or know someone who can please call the NVFD at 972 853-3166. These guys are dedicated and do a great job, they risk their lives on a daily basis for very little money. Now they need our help.
