Double Oak - Friday Updates (03/22/2024)
Braums Is Now Open
The mayor visited Braums on the 19th for its opening. The building and market were terrific, and the food was top-notch.
On Friday, April 5th, Double Oak will participate in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at Braum's. The exact time is still to be determined, but we hope many Double Oak citizens will join us in this celebration.
Double Oak has a marketplace for staple food items such as milk, eggs, ice cream, and other goodies.
In the meantime, if you have not indulged, feel free to do so.

Volunteer Opportunities
On the day of the celebration, we will need volunteers to help man carnival games, give residents tickets, set up, clean up, and sell t-shirts and hats. This is just a heads-up so people can mark their calendars to volunteer. We will have sign-up capabilities in March, showing jobs and time slots available. If you volunteer for a three-hour time slot, you will receive a 50th Birthday volunteer t-shirt as a thank-you for your service.

Reminders:
The Denton County Burn Ban Is No Longer in Effect
Due to recent rainfall, Denton County Commissioners lifted the county's burn ban Friday.
Despite the removal of the prohibition, Friday is not considered a "good burn day" by the county due to excessive wind speed.
The disposal of vegetation by open burning is allowed in unincorporated Denton County and some cities, but only on "good burn days."
Whether each day is a "good burn day" or "bad burn day" is determined each morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
