The Centennial Commission Board of
Directors and Commission Members would like to thank
you, the City of Tomball, for celebrating and making
December 2nd, truly a night to remember.
Thank you to President
H. W. Bush, General Chris Adams and Tom Koch for your
personal and touching addresses. The music and
parade of decades was the hit of the night, thanks to
our Tomball ISD school district's students, band and
choir. The Texas Master Chorale was on the mark.
The fireworks were awesome and of course, the patriotic
spirit and love of Tomball evident in the crowd was a
true blessing!
It was a great ending
to a great year!


General Chris Adams
And special thanks to all of
our sponsors, without whom, we could not have made it
possible!

THANK YOU, TOMBALL FOR MAKING THE TOMBALL
HEARTBEAT FESTIVAL A HIT! We appreciate all of your
kind comments on this first-time event!

On behalf of the Tomball Centennial
Commission and the City of Tomball we wish to thank you
for visiting our site and for all the help you have lent to these wonderful endeavors!

| Message from our Pres...
“Since none of us will be here to celebrate
Tomball’s 200th birthday, I wish to take this
opportunity to invite you and your family and
friends to visit Tomball during 2007 as our city
celebrates its Centennial. In anticipation
of this historic event, we decided that having
only one event was not our dream for Tomball.
Known as the Hometown with a Heart,
Tomball represents those things that families
desire – a hometown with good schools, great
businesses, churches of all denominations, fine
medical facilities, a thriving economy, and
great friends and neighbors. We are proud
of our city and invite you to visit us during
this event filled year…”

| Centennial Quilt
Quilt
is machine-pieced, hand appliquéd, and hand-quilted by
the Community Center Quilters for the City of Tomball
2007 Centennial. Colors are red, black, and off-white in
keeping with the City’s logo, “Hometown with a Heart”,
which is featured in the center of the quilt. Cost of
materials was paid by the Tomball Centennial Commission.
Materials were purchased at The Hen House, 5701 Louetta,
Ste 200, Spring, TX 77379. The owner, Stephanie
Jezierski, gave a substantial discount as her donation
to the Centennial and offered to hang the quilt in her
store. The quilters have offered to take the quilt for
display and ticket sales at the meeting of their
Woodlands Quilt Guild.
The winner of the quilt
will be announced soon!
The winning
ticket was drawn December 2, 2007, at our big Birthday Bash!
All proceeds are to benefit the Tomball Centennial
Commission.
