Gun Barrel City Council nods OK to farmers market at City Park Pavilion




There may yet be a farmers market in Gun Barrel City this Spring.

The Gun Barrel City Council approved moving forward Tuesday with the development of a weekly farmers market at the City Park Pavilion.

Councilman Marty Goss presented the idea to the council, and he recommended that Councilman Ron Wyrick be appointed as the liaison to the operation. The farmers market would be open every Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.

Goss said the Economic Development Corp. would be asked to designate $2,500 to the project for signage and other advertising.

The council shot down a plan presented earlier this year by the EDC to establish a farmers market on the vacant site of the old City Hall building on Highway 334.

Wyrick said he would be sending a proposal to the EDC, asking for $2,500 to pay for signage and other advertising. Then the proposal would go back to the council for final approval.

The city previously sponsored a farmers market at the City Park Pavilion that failed, but Goss promised this project would succeed if it is properly advertised.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.02 feet full pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
