Dear Supporter,
The Southeast Branch of the Texas Chapter of the American Public Works Association began 2025 with great success. The Branch has hosted several educational monthly meetings and is looking forward to hosting its annual Picnic for recognizing public works professionals during National Public Works Week (May 18-24, 2025). This year’s National Theme for the week is “People Purpose Presence”.
It is the Branch’s wish to recognize and thank Public Works employees during the Week and at the annual Picnic, which will take place on May 21, 2025, at the Galveston County Fair & Rodeo, located at 10 Jack Brooks Rd, Hitchcock, TX 77563. The picnic will be co-hosted by the City of Hitchcock and the City of La Marque. The BBQ Cook Off and Art Competition have provided a fun and engaging way for everyone to interact and reflect on the impact of public works on our communities.
Festivities will begin at 10:00 AM, and we will have four (4) competitions between cities:
- BBQ Cook-off Competition (categories such as Brisket, Ribs, Chicken)
- Dessert
- Public Works Art Competition
- Equipment Roadeo
