NEWS FROM YOURDIRECTOR

The Downtown Merchants Association is going to hold
a meeting on Thursday, June 4 at 9am at The Well Coffee
Lounge in downtown Royse City. This group was formed in
order to support local business, create ways to bring attention
to our Historic downtown, to help with renovation projects
in our city and more.
We would like for anyone who is interested in helping in these
areas and has a desire to see our community keep its local
flair, please join us! You do not have to be a business
owner to participate.
Thank you to Kari Hollifield with Keller Williams Realty for
hosting our May Business After Hours aka Thirsty Thursday.
It was held at the beautiful Holiday Builders model home in
Verandah subdivision. We all had a great time talking, shar-
ing, eating, drinking and pretending we lived there. Be sure
to join us this month on June 18th at Primary Care Associ-
ates new facility, 6257 FM 2642 (near Verandah subdivision).
Hosted by National Senior Care and Royse City Health and
Rehabilitation Center.
The 8th Annual Main Street Car Show was held
Saturday, May 9th. It was a great showing of vehicles,
despite the questionable weather! Thanks to all those
owners who braved the forecast! Also, many thanks to
our sponsors, volunteers, and spectators who made it
successful!
Planning is already underway for
the Chamber’s largest event of the
year – FunFest – which is taking
place Saturday, October 17th. This
is a full day of Vendors, Entertain-
ment, Contests, Food, Rides, and
more. Of course we also hold the
Annual RunFest 5k and Microfest
Beer Festival which both benefit a local charitable
cause. Last year we were able to present checks to
the Downtown Merchants Association to help with
restoration of the Old Historic Jail, as well as checks
to the Royse City Animal Shelter and Our Daily Bread
Food Pantry.
If you want to be on one of the most fun committees
around, then we could use you on June 28th at 6pm when
we will meet at Mellow Mushroom in Rockwall to go over
plans for this year’s Microfest. Ask anyone who helped with
or attended our inaugural event last year and they will tell
you it was definitely something we need to keep bringing
back every year. If you have any questions about how it all
works, contact Event Manager Daynor Stinson
