NIXON MAYOR, DON CHESSHER
HOST OF THE NIXON CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

As mayor of the most rural town in Texas, I have the pleasure of working with 7,000 descendants of stalwart, determined men and women responsible for our cherished heritage. Most of the time, I can keep them corralled.  However, in October, our hometown of Nixon turns 100 years old. Even in rural, south-central Texas, that's an occurrence that can't go by without a celebration!

The centennial celebration committee has taken my suggested one-day ceremony and turned it into a nine-day commemoration that will begin on Saturday, October 28th and conclude on Sunday, November 5th.
We hope that you will make plans to join us. Come and see how the most rural, authentic western town in Texas celebrates. Every day is scheduled with child-centered, family-friendly activities that will honor our rich heritage of cowboys and cultures. There will be music, food, and numerous events for over 10,000 participants.  That's a big party for downtown Nixon!

We're especially looking forward to the return of our old friends and former neighbors for events like "Homecoming at Mustang Stadium" and the downtown parade that will feature graduating classes from every year wanting to participate.  So, if you're a former Nixon resident, come back and visit. We've warned you in plenty of time to lose enough weight to impress.

Let me welcome you to our centennial celebration website, where I hope you will return often for updated information on the festivities, scrapbook photographs, stories about our people, memories shared by site visitors, and a salute to our treasured sponsors.

Come back often and stay to browse. See you in October!
