Mayor Pro Tem's Message
We are saddened by the sudden passing of our fellow Council Member and friend Harold (Hal) Gerhart. He loved Watauga, and was serving not only as a Council Member, but also was active in our Municipal Court as a volunteer, and supported our first-responders strongly. I enjoyed his wit, humor and upbeat demeanor. He was a smart, effective member of our City Council, and will be sorely missed. As we move into May, our city leadership will change, as we have several openings on the Council. Election Day is Saturday, May 5, 2018. Please come out and cast your vote! Your participation is what makes Watauga Great! There are many events occurring in May, including Concerts in the Park (Petty Theft, a Tom Petty tribute band, on Friday, May 4), Wataugafest (May 17-20) at Capp Smith Park, and many other events at the Library and our parks. The weather has been wonderful lately, so get out and see what the City has to offer! Our website has a Calendar of Events under the Community tab, showing in detail daily events in the City. Have a great May, and SHOP WATAUGA!
