Hard to believe Spur’s 2024Homecoming is only three weeks away!
We’re recapping the event schedule, with a reminder that many events will revolve around the new Spur Fire Station at Third and Burlington. (Think Dalmatians and hook-and-ladder trucks for your decor!) Organizer Pat Hightower says the theme this year is “Spur High Flashback.”
The Texas Spur would also like to remind advertisers and well-wishers that our annual Homecoming Special Section will publish Thursday, Oct. 3, with a deadline of WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25 at noon. Reserve your space today!
