Dear Citizens,
With the mild
spring wea-
ther here, I
encourage you
to get out of
the house and
go enjoy the
Glade Parks. This exciting
destination offers entertain-
ment, dining, shopping
and even nature trails in a
picturesque setting. There is
so much to see and do that
your entire family will
easily be entertained for
hours and hours.
Over 10 years of planning
and attention has gone into
Glade Parks. This shopping
and entertainment destin-
ation is conveniently
located at the intersection
of Highway 121 and Glade
Road. With its wonderful
collection of national
retailers, unique restaurants
and entertainment venues,
the development rivals any
other lifestyle center in the
Metroplex.
Did you know...?
Seniors can hear some great free music by
"The Jammers" at the Senior Center every
Thursday, 1 - 3 p.m.

Arbor Daze 2018
Saturday, April 28, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m (Main Stage opens at 5 p.m.)
Euless Family Life Center, 300 W. Midway Drive
ON THE MAIN STAGE:
School of Rock - 5 p.m.
Big Mike's Box of Rock - 6 p.m.
Graceland Ninjaz - 7 p.m.
Join the fun at Arbor Daze, the ultimate family festival! There will be
community entertainment, bounce houses, a Kidz Zone, tree giveaways and
concessions. New this year will be a scavenger hunt and various food eating
contests! Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets for all of the live
entertainment, including Graceland Ninjaz, the King of Party Bands. For
more details and performance schedules, go to www.ArborDaze.org.
An over 30-year "Tree City USA" recipient, the City of Euless is proud of its
many "tree-mendous" accomplishments promoting Arbor Day. Each attendee
of the festival will receive a free tree. The urban tree canopy has been
dwindling for decades, and the Arbor Daze Festival has given over 150,000
trees since its inception. Most of these trees have been planted in the
immediate area to replenish the local tree population.
If you are interested in volunteering for Arbor Daze, call Jerry Poteet at 817-
685-1449 or e-mail him at jpoteet@eulesstx.gov.

community volunteers, we aim to strengthen, grow
and revitalize our community one house and one
