COLMESNEIL – On Saturday, August 1, legendary swimmin’ hole Lake Tejas will be celebrated for serving the community and region as a favorite destination for recreation for 86 years.

The organizers are asking for those who would like to participate to sign up and reserve a team slot by calling 903-802-5357 by Friday, July 25.
There will also be free door games for prizes, raffles and sweet treats. So come out and join in the fun for a day of splashes, flips and tricks at the lake.
