Calendar of Sanctioned Events

Thank you for being a part of saying, “Happy 100th Birthday,” to Tomball, our Hometown with a Heart!”  Thank you for coming out and supporting your hometown's birthday!

What Happened?

As events were finalized they were listed here and once the even was sanctioned, it was added to this monthly activity calendar. There were lots of activities planned through-out the year, including monthly Centennial Geo-Caching events! 

The caches were hidden and chock-full of surprises and available for lucky finders.  For more information see the calendar at www.thattexasmagazine.com or visit www.geochaching.com for more information on this fun sport.  Deb Dousay, with ThatTexas Magazine, chaired this project and delivered what she promised on the day of our depot celebration and all throughout the year.  Many participants took the time to add their compliments about Tomball and their pleasure at having a continuing hi-tech scavenger hunt happening during our Centennial year.

Tomball Hospital sent all babies born in 2007 home with a little t-shirt and blanket saying "I am a Centennial Baby"! 

TISD has our Centennial logo on school buses and "city-owned" vehicles, have been sporting it as well. 

   


We appreciate all that The Tomball Potpourri provided to the success of this historic event in our City's history.  Visit The Potpourri's website at http://www.hcnonline.com.
