The next City of Marble Falls Coffee with the Mayor will be held Friday, Aug. 4, at Falls on the Colorado Museum, 2001 Broadway Street. Meet Mayor John Packer, share a cup of coffee and brush up on a little history.

A new edition of Coffee with the Mayor will be sponsored by the City of Marble Falls from 8-9 a.m. Friday, Aug. 4.

This time, the setting will be Falls on the Colorado Museum in the historic granite schoolhouse at 2001 Broadway Street.

The public is invited to share thoughts and ideas about new projects in the city.

In this case, it also will be an opportunity to stroll through exhibits about the history of town, including those about four influential early residents created for Marble Falls Founders Day, celebrated July 8. Another new exhibit features “Rockie,” a 700-year-old bison relic, discovered on Rocky Creek in Burnet County, and the subject of a fund-raising campaign to reassemble the full skeleton.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet one-on-one with our residents and learn about issues that are important to them,” said Packer.

The free event is an informal come-and-go session and does not require reservations.

The Texas Council of Child Welfare Boards and its member board in Burnet County are observing Texas Go Blue Day in recognition of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month and thousands of Texans are wearing the official color of prevention to show their support for the protection of the state's children.

“No one likes to think that it happens in their town, but it does, said Caroline Ragsdill, president of the Burnet County Child Welfare Board (CWB). “Burnet County is no exception when it comes to child abuse.
