Information from the Williamson County Public Information Office

On July 28, 2020, the Williamson County Fair Association announced the rescheduling of the Inaugural Williamson County Fair and Rodeo from Oct. 22-24, 2020 to Oct. 21-23, 2021.

Scott Heselmeyer, president of the association, along with the board of directors, said they made this decision as a responsible course of action for the community, volunteers and sponsors. However, the association will continue planing a youth livestock show and a scholarship program for the fall. More details on these programs will be released in the future. 

A sampling of mosquitoes taken at a trap near the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park tested positive for West Nile Virus. This is the second time this trap has had mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus in the past three weeks. The Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) set up two expanded trap sites near the park, and both of the expanded traps came up with negative test results at this time. No other samples were found to be positive from routine trapping this week as part of the WCCHD Integrated Vector Management program. Williamson County will adjust hours for park visitors at the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park to prevent exposure to mosquitoes when they are most active. Starting July 28, the park will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce the hiring of Robert Moss as the new manager who will lead operations at River Ranch County Park. Moss’s first day on the job is Friday, July 24.
