Republic of Texas Celebration - February 17, 2010
Submitted by Billie Dawson

On March 6, 2010, the William Carroll Crawford Chapter of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas will host our second annual Republic of Texas Celebration at the Historic Shelby County Courthouse Square.

The Daughters of the Republic of Texas is a non-profit organization with a primary goal to preserve and perpetuate Texas History. Shelby County has a rich history and played an important role in the forming of the Republic of Texas and our Statehood.
The Republic of Texas Celebration gives us an opportunity to celebrate this rich history and bring attention to our ongoing efforts to preserve it.

Last year’s event included the dedication of The First Ladies in Texas Building, located on the courthouse square. This year begins our effort to establish the library in honor of one of our members and life long resident of Shelby County.
The library will be named “The Reba January James Heritage Library”
It is through Reba’s efforts our local chapter The William Carroll Crawford Chapter was chartered in 1996, she was also instrumental in the forming of the local chapter of the Son’s of the Republic of Texas, and has been active in our county in many ways. Once the library is complete it will be open to the public to be used as a research source for information pertaining to Shelby County, and Texas history.

The Republic of Texas Celebration is free to the public, and will include many fun activities based on life in the 1800’s.

We need your help. As a sponsor your donation will aid in the cost of our event. All money raised through the rental of vendor space, food, stagecoach and buggy rides will go directly toward shelving, computers, and other items needed for the library. Each sponsor will receive signage on the courthouse lawn and will be listed in our program.

There are four (4) sponsorship levels, Silver $100.00, Gold $200.00, Platinum $300.00, Diamond over $300.00.

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to seeing you on March 6th.
