Message from Centennial President, Diane Holland

The joy of living in a small town is the ability to come together to celebrate life and home with family, friends, and neighbors…our Centennial is rapidly approaching.

Message from Centennial President,
Diane Holland

Our goal of offering a Centennial event every weekend throughout the year has become a reality with over 52 sanctioned events planned for 2007.  Beginning in January and continuing through the end of the year, there is something to do almost every weekend in Tomball, Texas.

On January 27^th, the 100^th anniversary of the first train to stop in Tomball, we will dedicate our newly refurbished and relocated train depot during Tomball Train Day.  Then, for Valentine’s Day, our heart-filled community will celebrate love and marriage as couples are recognized for decade anniversaries, essay entries, Tomball’s Centennial Sweethearts (our longest married couple), a wedding vow renewal ceremony, and our Centennial Wedding held in our city municipal building.

On April 21^st the first ever Tomball Trash Ball will take place as we recognize Earth Day and the environment.  Contests, fun, food, and entertainment will be offered throughout the day at two of our adjacent local parks.

On June 1 – 3, Lone Star Chevrolet will present the Tomball Heartbeat Festival, a three-day event designed for all ages.  Join us as Texas musicians entertain us throughout the day, while games, food, children’s activities, and a carnival add their appeal to the venue.

September 16^th marks the date of our Fall Fiesta.  You won’t want to miss this celebration or Tomball’s first ever Biker Rally scheduled for October 13^th.

On December 2, 2007, the actual birthday of Tomball, we will host a gigantic party at our high school stadium.  Sure to be a hit, this final activity will feature music, special guest speakers, a parade of the decades, fireworks, and birthday cake for everyone.

We invite you to visit our great hometown to find out more about this exciting year in Tomball.  Located on SH 249, our proximity to I-45 and US 290 provides easy access from just about anywhere.  Check out our hotels and motels, our restaurants, and our local businesses while you are here.  Come join the fun, stay a while, enjoy life as it should be as we celebrate this exciting year.  We would love to have you as our guests.

Sincerely,

Diane N. Holland
Tomball Centennial Commission President
