CITY PROJECTS !

The Main Street Parking Lot Expansion is in the final stages. Walking trails to the downtown area will be completed soon, as well as directional signs and lighting.

ANNUAL HERITAGE DAY EVENT!

OVILLA HERITAGE DAY

The OVILLA HERITAGE DAY PARADE and CELEBRATION scheduled for September 25, 2021, has been canceled.  We hope to possibly re-schedule the event for later this year or early Spring 2022.  

We offer a sincere thank you to all of those who already signed up to participate in this year’s event.  Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 numbers clearly on the rise in Ellis County, it was decided holding the event may unnecessarily place our citizens and City employees at risk of possible COVID-19 exposure.

We also give thanks and commend our City Council and Mayor for supporting the difficult decision to cancel this event.  Keeping in mind our primary duty is to ensure our City employees and emergency services are available to serve our citizens, it was unanimously agreed a cancellation / postponement was the best action at this time.         

Lastly, but surely not least, we sincerely thank Doug Hunt (City Councilmember / Mayor Pro tem) and Emily Starkey (Police Department) for all their exhaustive efforts to plan and coordinate this event.  

Thank you again to everyone involved and we hope to re-schedule this event for the near future!
