Kennedale is entering into a new chapter of its history with the creation of the Keep Kennedale Beautiful
Commission. The commission is an affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) and thus en joys the benefits of being a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. The Keep Kennedale Beautiful Commission is a city appointed board and is dedicated to beautifying and improving Kennedale through beautification, programming and education addressing litter prevention, and waste reduction. Our newly appointed board is composed of Suzanne Greer, Michael Smith – others…. - An early charge of the commission will be to work with a UTA landscaping class to develop a landscaping plan for Kennedale Parkway. They will also be involved in identifying and selecting plant for the landscaped medians on the newly constructed Little-School and Sublet Road medians. In addition to participating in KTB programs, we can expect the commission to organize their own local events and programs based on the specific needs of Kennedale. They will recruit volunteers to aid in efforts that include students, youth groups, garden clubs, and service organizations, to name a few. I hope to see you involved in making Kennedale a great place to call home.

The City of Kennedale will host its “Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration” on December 1st
beginning at 6:00 p.m. This ceremony is a great way to bring the community together for a joyous celebration and sharing the warmth and jubilation that Christmas brings. The Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held in the TownCenter Park adjacent to City Hall and will include presentations by our local school choirs, school bands,
the arrival of Santa Claus, and the lighting of the Christmas tree. Come have hot chocolate, hot apple cider, fudge and cookies provided by our local churches, and enjoy holiday songs provided by our local school choirs. Santa will also be there to see who has been naughty or nice.

For more information or if you would like to participate in the festivities, please contact Celeste Brown at 817-985-2105 or cbrown@cityofkennedale.com.
