The Flower Mound Historical Commission is gearing up for an exciting community fair, set to feature a variety of engaging exhibits and presentations. During a recent meeting, members discussed the success of last year's event, which attracted around 700 attendees, a significant increase compared to previous years. The fair, which is free to the public, will showcase six to seven different presentations, effectively doubling its size from last year.

The event aims to promote awareness of archaeology and historical preservation in a family-friendly environment. Participants will enjoy complimentary lunches, and exhibitors will have the opportunity to share their knowledge with the community. This initiative is seen as a proactive approach for historical organizations to engage with the public, especially in a field that is often less controversial than historic preservation.

The commission is considering setting up a booth to provide information about archaeology, allowing attendees to learn more about the historical significance of their surroundings. This focus on education and community involvement highlights the commission's commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of local history.

As the fair approaches, the Flower Mound Historical Commission looks forward to building on last year's success and further enriching the community's appreciation for its historical roots.
