June 1st Ciclovia

This month the HOPE-K THC is partnering with multiple businesses including H-E-B and Wal-Mart. The H-E-Buddy will be joining us at the lake for fun, games, health screenings, physical activity and lots more. Wal-Mart will be hosting the "Take a Kid Fishing" event and will also be providing fun prizes for the kiddos.  So get ready to enjoy a fun filled day out at Maverick County Lake. Remember the first Saturday of every month the lake is closed to vehicles but is open for everyone to enjoy all types of physical activity. So bring your bikes or if you must drive simply park at the VFW. Thanks to our veterans for allowing us the use of their parking area. See you there!
