Thanks to all who attended the Bond Advisory Task Force (BATF) Hybrid in-person and virtual Open House!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Bond Advisory Task Force Open House in-person December 8 and virtually December 8-9. Over the past few months, the BATF has been prioritizing Public Safety, Transportation and Parks and Recreation projects to include in a recommendation report to City Council. At a future City Council meeting, Council will receive the report, review the recommendations and determine whether to call a future bond election. ICYMI, you can check out what all they've working on at cedarparktexas.gov/batf.
ICYMI: Santa's Workshop virtual crafts with Jansen the Elf!
We had close to 200 kids participate in our Santa's Workshop virtual crafts event this week! In case your children were not able to take advantage of this fun acivity, they can still participate!
We have a very limited number of craft kits available at the Cedar Park Recreation Center at 1435 Main St.

If we happen to run out, most of the crafts are with things you probably already have at home. It's a great way to keep the kiddos busy while they're on holiday break. At the very least, check out Jansen the Elf and his instructional videos.-He's a hoot!
