Hall of Fame

Don Cowley

His involvement goes back to the very conception of the Great Texas Mosquito Festival. He has been a Parks Board Member and SWAT Team Member ever since. He reigned over the booths before joining Mike in the beer barn. We applaud your dedication Don!

Ron McCulley

He dedicated many hours as a Swat Team Member as our Booth Chairman for the Festival for many years. He was always willing to go the extra mile to help everyone. Your dependability and willing to work has not gone unnoticed. Thank you for your service.

Billie McCulley

She has the ability to adapt to any task put before her! As a key volunteer she is willing to do whatever we ask her to do...she is ready, willing, and extremely capable of carrying out the task without any supervision. You ROCK Billie!

"GAL" Sarah Pauline Adams

She is one of a kind-from jokester to serious volunteer, she is always available to do whatever we need. There is little she hasn't done for our festival, from running errands, to folding shirts, or helping in any way possible to make our event special.

Betty Cowley

The Queen of our Souvenirs has reigned over our Souvenir Booth for almost the entire 37 years! She has spent hours folding, organizing, and then selling the souvenirs during the festival. RAIN or SHINE Betty is always there to insure our booth is open.

Mike Hilsher

He has been the backbone of the Beer Barn for more years than we can count. Without his dedication and heart we would be lost. Mike was also a former SWAT Team Member. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

BBQ Cook-off Committee

For the last 18 years they have made sure that our BBQ & Fajita Cook-off & GrillMaster events are a huge success. Each of these dedicated volunteers can take pride in the fact they brought us National attention when the Food Network filmed this event.

Donice Lodrigue

She is one of our quietest volunteers but she is always there to do anything and everything that you ask her to do. Thank you for your many years of support to the festival!

Barbara Hester

She has spent many years on the festival grounds running the bank trailer. Even after retirement from the city, she continues to come out each year and do whatever task is needed to be done.

Daryl Bagley and Barron Vincent

These two have successfully ran our Horseshoe and Washer Tournament for many, many years. Thank you to you both for all your hard work and dedication to the tournaments and to the festival.

In Memory of Kim West

who made our O ' You Beautiful Doll event so very special. For 11 years she brought out the best in each and everyone of our participants and made even the most shy kids shine on stage. You will always be remembered by us and all those that you touched.
