Juneteenth is hosted by the Neighborhood Recreation Committee of Sherman, Texas. This organization is comprised of African-American leaders who work to bring communities together and move them forward. The Juneteenth celebration is educational, uplifting, and helps bridge the gap between past, present, and the future. First established as a holiday in 1980, Juneteenth marks the day the last 200,000 slaves in Texas were freed and the actual end of slavery in the United States. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation had declared all slaves were freed in 1863, it was not until June 19th, 1865 that Texas slaves would be freed. Today it is a national holiday celebrated across the country and the world, among people of all races, nationalities, and religions as a win for humanity.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 84 degrees; 1.87 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is hit and miss but fish are starting to surface on shallow sand flats and in cuts. Top waters and swimbaits are working as well as live bait drifting shallow 10-15 feet of water or anchoring on main lake ledges in 15-25 feet of water. Catfishing remains excellent on punch bait in 25-30 feet of water on humps and main lake points. Bigger blues will be cruising the deeper water drift while gizzard shad or rough fish off of the river channels on flats in 40-55 feet of water. Bass fishing is good on hard baits and reaction baits near docks and the backs of coves early in the mornings and late evenings. Fish main lake points and rock bluffs mid day off the banks. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good on topwaters in shallow water, switching to slabs as fish move out to 15 feet of water. Water clarity is improved. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
