Santa Claus Is Coming To East Montgomery County Texas

Santa Claus is coming to town-


And oh, how surprised he'll be when he

gets a good look around.




Starting in Granderland, and Fostoria,

East Montgomery County-

Has always been the interesting place

to be.




Landing in Splendora, Santa sets his

eyes on the trees, especially the pine-

And then he hones in on the East

Montgomery County Development,

Center, where the new Senior Citizen

building is what he will find.






The perfect addition, a building for so

many activities to take place-

Santa then heads further down the road,

with a smile on his face.




Patton Village and Roman Forest, are

decorated to the max-

Santa stops for a moment to deliver

his gifts, and to re-adjust in his sled,

those heavy sacks.




The Roman Forest Special Committee

has been working hard on their

fundraiser event-

To ensure that there is a Fourth of July

Firework Show 2010, where much local

family fun is spent.




And then Santa suddenly notices some

forest that has been cleared-

It makes him sad, as a matter of fact

he gets downright teared.




Until he realizes that the dinosaur park is

going right there in the middle of New

Caney-

And all is okay as he says what a grand

affair, this will be.




And then he hovers over the EMCID building,

and drops a few packages here as far as

he can see-

This is the place where Sawmill Festival 2009

was held by the Chamber of Commerce of

East Montgomery County, and the East

Montgomery County Historical Society won

the first place trophy.




Onto Porter, the last town, but of course, but not

the least-

And he stops in to see the Porter Fire Department,

and admires the new fire training center, where

safety training has been increased.




The future East County Museum is still there, and

he knows that one day it will reside in a new place-

As Santa reflects on all that the East Montgomery

County Historical Society has done, it puts a smile

on his face.





As he leaves the county he shouts out loud,"A very

Merry Christmas to the East Montgomery County

residents, a "unique" Texas county-

In 2010, may you continue to grow, and may you

continue your good works of preserving the history of

exactly how it used to be."

Porter Firefighter In Need

Lieutenant Larry Weaver (of Porter Fire Department) son Brandon is 11, he is in the hospital and needs a heart/lung transplant, and has been in the hospital for several weeks. Our fire fighters have been teaming up to take over shifts to help cover Larry's shift so that he not only has funds but keeps his insurance without having to take a leave of absence. All three of "my Chiefs'" went up there a week ago to check on how things were going and Larry has been at the hospital day in day out. Anyhow, his house was purchased as a shell home and basically has not had any work done and has gotten worse as times as gone along, time and money have been spent on the child and his medical expenses. The fire men have been working on his house and repairing it or building it so to speak. The family is in need of everything from furniture, dishes, bedding, towels, money, etc. To the best of my knowledge Chief Teverbaugh has been the person most involved in a large portion of the remodeling. If you can pass this along, or if you have any furniture, or anything that you can donate, we will pick it up from wherever need be. We need everything fixtures, dishes, you name it and if you would like to help please let us know. Diann Wilck Office Administrator281-354-6666 Office281-354-2043 Faxdwilck@porterfire.com
