The Place to Be

It was great to be back at Shallowford Square on Saturday, August 13, 2016 photographing Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. While Lewisville was founded in 1859, visionary leadership from within the community led to the incorporation of the Town of Lewisville in 1991.

Last Saturday, the exuberance, sense of community and down-to-earth spirit I’ve long witnessed in my hometown were once again on full display. Though the August heat was strong, the heartbeat of our tight-knit community was stronger.

Photos…and More Photos

I hope you enjoy the following lineup of photos capturing some of the highlights of Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. As time permits, I’ll roll out more photos, including audio of historical re-enactments and musical performances.

P.S. Many thanks to members of the Lewisville Fire Department — which had a medical assist area set up on the Square’s perimeter — for helping me deal with effects of the sweltering heat. You guys rock!
